Trunk won't open - can it be manually released?

There is a manual release for the hatch behind the plastic "vent" cover at the left rear inside the boot area. Remove the cover by pulling out on the edge closest to the rear of the vehicle. Of course you will have to pull the rear seat down and crawl into the boot with a flashlight to do this. Look for a small button handle connected to the end of a wire, then pull the wire to release the hatch.
This is the same area where the audio power amp is located.

No, I still haven't gotten it fixed. As far as I can tell, you and I are the only two people who have the problem.

Mine sticks occasionally when the weather changes because the seal gets stuck to the tailgate. Sometimes I have to pull so hard I'm worried the rear logo is going to come off in my hand.
I have some Einszett / Nextzett Gummi Pflege I need to apply to it one of these days.
But I dont think it will solve your latching malfunction. Just posting it here in case it helps someone with a similar problem.

hi. i have the same issue on my 2015 countryman S. when you press the unlock on the fob OR activate the unlock switch on the tailgate, there is a sound like an impact driver. cannot get the trunk to open. cannot reach the trunk lock mechanism to replace the actuator motor, because the trunk won't open! no manual trunk release that i can find on this model. am i missing something? is it possible to access the actuator mechanism with the trunk in CLOSED position? were you able to resolve the problem? if so, please share details, much appreciated!

Make that three of us with the problem! 2012 Countryman S... I've ordered the part but can't figure out how to get the boot to open even though the problem part has been unplugged...
