I need advice concerning how to open a rear decklid (bonnet) that won't unlatch.

I am in trouble.

I was adjusting the latch on the rear trunk and the trunk latched and will not release.

After a couple hours of trying, i thought i would loosen the trunk so i could slide it forward and release the latch. Well the shocks then pushed the trunk towards the rear of the car rendering the problem worse.

So..... do i remove the trunk bolts to try and make it release hoping the shocks do not shoot the trunk lid backward to the next county?

Ps. I have the trunk shocks that mount front to back so the preasure is pushing to the rear of the car instead of up like the stock shocks

I have no trunk insert.

Any and all suggestions appreciated
