Default Trunk/Boot Handle Broken locked out of 94 Coupe

Hi Guys,

I got the car stored at the brother in-laws house wanted him to charge the battery before going over to take pictures,battery is disconnected in the truck/boot . The plastic handle to unlock the trunk/boot appears to be broken lock turns fine gave him all the keys so it's not a problem with the keys. I know you can get in the preface lift cars by drilling a hole for access how do you get in a face lift car..need the car running because it's up for sale. I don't want to damage the car if possible.

Thanks

That same hole solution works for the facelift cars too. I didn't realize my car had that until my latch broke. I pulled out the drill and started praying, but once I pulled the license plate, I found my prayers had been answered! A hole had been drilled by the previous owner!
