Man that sucks!!

I tried fishing for that trunk release on night my battery died (left the lights on). Total waste of time. That cable moves around in that that fender and if it moves too far forward you won't be able to reach it with your hand. I ended up going to Target and buying one of the Black and Decker jump start packs that plugs into the cig lighter. Just enough juice to open the trunk. So you will need one of these jump start things even if you do break the window. Some years didn't have electric trunk release, I think the 99 and older.

What does replacing a window go for these days?
