[DeTomaso] Help with Rear Trunk!!!

[Rob DuMoulin]

Happened to me as well once. Even with my AC condenser in the way, I was
able to snake my hand up past it and loosen the two bolts holding the latch
on enough to give it slack so the trunk would open.  Knuckle buster for
sure.  I thought it would be much easier if I had a small remote camera but
it probably took about 20 minutes to do.
