Trunk lid of doom

Now that my 72B is on the road again, running like a charm, another problem 
crops up. For the most part, my trunk lid pops right open when I press the 
latch. Every once in a while, I have had problems getting it open. This 
time, it is down for the count. My normal non-damaging prying and twisting 
is having no effect.

So now how do I get the trunk open now? Denise mentioned drilling a small 
hole somewhere on or near the latch but I can't seem to find the message in 
the archives. I'm also contemplating a small hole in  the bulkhead below 
the seats in order to maybe get a rod back and get at the latch from there.

I know this has been a common topic but for some reason my search in the 
archives has not yielded any relevant results. So can anyone fire me back 
some quick, experienced, and hopefully painless suggestions?
