Help I Can't Open My Trunk!!!!

So I was rushing the other night to remove my car cover and threw it in the trunk. Well a piece of the car cover got stuck in the locking mechanism so now I can't get the trunk to open.

I crawled in the back and tried to pull off the piece tha is stuck but it's not moving. What should I do, anyone have any ideas????

Try using the emergency release cable under the strut bar, it might give you a little more leverage on the latch.

I had my car for two years before I found this. The manual shows it in the storage box behind the passenger seat. Never crossed my mind to ask when I was talking to others. Now I have a harness bar in which I can't reach it now.
