Re: Need help - Screw next to trunk latch won't bite
Take off the rectangular trim piece inside the trunk hatch (the one with the pull down handle) and you'll be able to see the trunk release and go from there.
SIDE NOTE: there is a small circular cover inside the pull down handle... remove this cover with a small flat head screw driver and remove the torx screw inside... then pry the plastic trim cover from the rear hatch.
