My new 65 FB did not come with any keys. I need to get into the trunk for cleaning and rear frame repairs. My current plan is to remove the rear seat to gain access to the trunk but once I've done that I'd still like to open and remove the deck lid. Is there a way I can pop the latch from the inside? Thanks everyone.

There are vendors that sell the remote trunk release kit for mustangs.

From the inside, you can slide off the lock cylinder retaining clip and remove the cylinder. Once that is done, just use a screw driver from the outside through the lock cylinder hole.

you could also unbolt the entire trunk lid at the hinges and latch if you have trouble removing the cylinder.....

You can use a screwdriver from the inside as well and not have to remove anything

on 65/66 mustangs the trunk lock cylinder and chrome bezel are held on by a large nut-takes something like a 15/16 SOCKET to remove lock asembly so u might try some pliers to turn the trunk lock extension that sticks thru the latch-dont really know as i always remove the 2 -7/16 bolts that hold the latch to the tail-light panel part. however if the trap door is latched isnt the latch on the trunk side? good luck on your endever! wes
