My question is, is there a way to lift the trunk liner enough to peek down into the engine compartment? I know the standard way is to open the convertible top, but I can't start the engine until I know she isn't in there.

You don't need to start the engine to open the top. Just turn the key until it is in the drove position and don't go the extra click to engage the starter.
