It is a common problem, there is a solution but it is semi difficult. Below you will find a link to a forum thread that has pictures and explains where to make a whole in the inner fender to access the latch and release it.

I had this same issue and used the fender hole trick that avern1 posted - I got the info from a YouTube video (there's a few of them out there if you do a search), e.g.
).
