I had one time when my leather jacket was caught in the latch, the trunk was not quite down all the way - the top and wing wound not move. But my jacket also had the latch jammed, I could not open the trunk OR move the top.
So..................
I had a friend press down really hard on the lid so the sensor would "see' the trunk lid fully closed - and was able to partly put the top down - with the tonneau lid up, I managed to reach in and pull the emergency release, popping the trunk open. Then I could get the jacket out of the way, and close the lid fully. All back to normal.
What I am saying is: Make SURE the trunk is closed all the way. Also, the trunk latch sensor has failed in a few cars -doubt it is your problem, but thought I'd mention it.
