Hello,

Before I go on I will post this link:

I am encountering this exact problem, my trunk is jammed shut, keys
won't work, the wireless release won't work and I can't fold down the
rear seats because the release mechanism is in the trunk (brilliant!).

Yes I am going to have to take it in to get it fixed, but right now I
have something important in my trunk I need to get out ASAP!  For those
who are curious ... its a laser printer ink cartrige which cost me
$100.

My question is ... can I get into the trunk easily somehow by
disassembling the rear seat so I can get my stuff out?  Or is there an
easy way to release the rear seats from inside the car.  There HAS to
be a way to get in there.  I mean ... how else would a mechanic get
into my trunk to fix it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Shaun

Btw my car is a 2000 Ford Focus Sedan .... *sigh*
