I have no keys for it but i can get inside the main part and i can...wiggle my way into the trunk but idk how or even if you can get it open from the inside.

The end of the lock cylinder has a small rectangular bar projecting from the end of it. This bar (about 3/16" x 1/2" cross section) passes through the lock mechanism and should be visible from inside the trunk. Grab this bar with a pair of pliers and twist counterclockwise (as seen from inside the trunk) to unlatch the latch.

I couldn't fit through the opening in the bulkhead behind the back seat, so, I put together
3 or 4 feet worth of 3/8" extensions (enough to reach the bolts in the catch) with a 7/16" socket.
I reached through and got the socket on the bolts on the catch that way.

Just remove the back seat and get a extra extra long extension and un do the Bolts-(2) holding the lock mechanism on the inside of the trunk in place.They will fall down in the trunk and the trunk will open. I did it just a while back when my lock broke. Good Luck.
