I have a 98 Century. The keys are locked in the trunk. Is there any way to get in the trunk from inside the passenger compartment?

You MAY have a trunk release button in the glove box. If not, this MIGHT work: Go to the back seat, reach under the back section with both hands and a strong/ quick thrust upward will pop the seat back out and up, pull it out of the way and you should be able to reach into the trunk. Also, check out this YouTube Video on the subject...Good Luck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0OpJDht1T8

My mom's Buick Regal has a pass-through panel in the back seat. I can't get through it, but someone thinner could probably reach in to the latch. My problem is that the portion of the latch that turns to release the trunk cracked at one end. So, it worked (with the key and keyfob). But, it was turning the release to open the trunk. I have not been in the trunk yet, but it looks like you could unbolt the portion that would let the trunk open for repair. I plan to get my kids to crawl in and help with project.
