have you tried making sure the latch isn't locked closed
if it is stick a screwdriver in there like it was the bar
on the upper part and pushing the releas button while
pulling upward on the screwdriver.

Mine stuck.. but i fixed it with a screw driver, then once i rattled the thing so loose that it would wobble back so much it would just not even touch the latch.. i fixed that with a black ziptie!

Take a claw hammer and position one (or both if there is room) of the claws in the "metal thingy" and pry up. Don't pry up too far though, or you're trunk latch will rattle.
