Bummer. No cable? Surely you followed the rear latch backwards for that cable?

Is there any way you can poke a tool up there to push on the latch?

What year car? If it's by cable and not electronic... have you taken apart the mechanism next to the drivers seat... and yanked on the cable? May it became disconnected fron the mechanism.

If it's electronic have you tried the wire-in-the-fusebox remedy? That usually pops it right open.

Good luck.
