Drop down rear seat , how to open the trunk?

I got into the trunk. Thanks for the pics and advice.
Tried all sorts of tools but in the end it was the hacksaw blade that did the trick.
Nothing in the trunk aside from junk and a new air filter.
The oil filter had a little rust inside so I threw it out.
Virtually no rust.
I posted a pic of the trunk over on my other thread in the restorations section.
