Could you elaborate? I'm not certain if you want to know how to get into a locked trunk to repair it or if you want advice on actually repairing it once open.

Hire a midget or a real skinny assistant.

I would drill out the cylinder and then attempt to actuate the linkage manually.

It's simple to open...takes some time...but the process is simple. Using the rear seat ski hole is indeed what you use. BUT you need a ratchet with LOTS of extensions to reach the lock bolts. I think they are 10mm. Midgets are good...but quite expensive.
