As Ghosty said....
I've installed (re-routed so I can reach it without removing the wheel) the front boot (frunk) release cable but not the rear - I havn't been able to find it......

Just remove the plastic cover from the latch, then pull back the the fabrics to expose the exisiting cable (driver side) I ran a new wire along the original cable with loose wire ties (so wire will move) from the latch around the corner of the tail light and up and straight to the foam rubber patch on the back "firewall". Ran the wire just overtop of the foam into the shock tower area. On that end of the wire I looped the wire thru a piece of gas line hose to form a handle. With top 1/2 down I can now reach in near shock tower and grab and pull to open rear trunk. This is for emergency only just like the front hood. I read the horrible post on rear trunk latch broken. OUCH !!! I can sleep now that my wife knows where both emergency pulls are.
