Take the wheel off and drill a 3/4" hole in the fender to allow using a screw driver to pop the latch. (find a plug first that will fill the hole. The exact size isn't critical). The hole will be closest to the latch in the wheel arch. Check other threads on the forum. They may explain it much better. Not really that bad. You can then remove the latch until you have time to repair it. Good Luck
