Great news, I've an awesome Ribeye in the trunk, along with a bunch of groceries.

Bad news, rear-ended by a guy, apparently, on his phone.

I can't figure a way to release the seats to fold down without access to the pull releases and cables in the trunk. Anybody?

Or am I just in a situation where it's time to pull out the pry bar?

 

The releases are in the trunk, so I guess it's pry bar time. Good luck.

 

I have the same issue with my 2010 model. Please help.

 

Hole saw behind fabric of center armrest, two wire hangers linked together to pull the interior trunk release and voila! Of course this was not my first choice but after 5 locksmiths turned me down with one offering to cut me a key for $460 and the dealer telling $200 just "to look at it", I saved money by entering the trunk in an inconspicuous way.
