Default Trunk wont open I Need Help!

Alright so heres my situation. So I take my targa top off of my car and locked it in the trunk. Later that night i go to take the targa top out of the trunk and the trunk doesn't want to open. I don't have a trunk release latch so it only opens with the key. I keep tryin to turn and all i hear is a latch tryin to turn but after a while i don't hear anything at all as if the latch is broken. How do I open my trunk now. Whats worst is that all my tools are in there from working on a friends car. HELP

Same thing happened to me. ..I even took it to HONDA and they said they couldnt help me ....the Manager owned a Sol jus looked and laughed

Anyways this is how I got mine open...mind u be very careful it can b done without damaging ya trunk but i have a slight dent..

Basically u have to pry you right tailight out...and reach in pull tha cable to pop it...
TO CORRECT IT....U jus need to leave the taillight out and play wit tha key and lock till u figure it out because now i have to turn tha key all tha way then close tha trunk then turn tha key back to remove it...

Pried the taillight out without messing up my trunk. And got the latch unlocked. Took about 15 minutes. not too bad but now i gotta glue the taillight back onto the grommets
