I had all the interior removed prior being stuck. There was 3 10mm bolts holding the latch mechanism to the trunk. I removed them and that allowed to relieve some pressure and got in their with my fingers and mucked around and then it delatched. I guess if it were the case where i had the interior together, I would have had to cut a big gaping hole through the plastic to access the same bolts.
Hopefully nobody will have to suffer through that.
