How do I get into my Merc SL's boot?!

I am unable to open the boot-lid on my 1992 Mercedes Benz 300 SL roadster. I have been opening manually on key but lock appears to be broken as key does not catch and runs almost freely from side to side. Any other way to open boot-lid?

Hi Gearoid,

We believe you have to remove the rear seats to access the boot and the back of the lock. Not a quick job...
