Well obviously the lock is jammed somehow. Tapping on it while pushing down and pulling up on the lid while turning the key back and forth should free it. An extra pair of hands will make it easier. What's this talk of surgery and mummy face?

hope not.. does this mean the fu plays do deep it broke my trunk lock? lol

There’s no way your bass would break the lock but on my car there was a stupid rubber grommit that went around the trunk lock cylinder and it kept flying off when I was driving around bumping. It would cause water to get in my trunk lid and every time I opened my trunk after it rained water would dump on everything so after going to the junk yard three separate times to get replacements I said **** it and just completely covered the whole outside lock with black duct tape. Idgaf what it looks like lol
