Opening rear trunk with detached cables
Long story short: circlip holding cables on to trunk latch came off. Searched various sources, no viable options. Pulled left rear wheel, inner fender, heat shield, took bumper cover loose. Pulled trunk vent (with rubber flaps) out. Took 1 1/2" grommet out.
Inserted endoscope in grommet hole, made an 18" flat strap with a small hole in it on one end. Used endoscope to light up trunk and reached i9n the vent hole with flat strap until I could manipulate latch. Not all that difficult but time consuming.
Ground of post on latch that cables are attached to, drilled out latch, put a #10x1" machine screw (grade 8), attached all 3 cables, put a double nut on the screw. Works great.
Reassembled and went for a drive.
