the parts 00' Jetta i have doesn't have the button inside to open it or a key :roll:

I need to know if i can open it w/o that stuff somehow.... I have to take off the rear bumper. The seats are down so i can get in from the inside but i need the trunk open.

Also i'm having trouble getting the exhaust out from the rear beam....VW mufflers are so damn bendy on VW's

I just cut my exhaust off at the beam, I believe most people do.

Can you just climb into the trunk and unbolt the mechanism that holds it shut? Or get some needlenose in there and pull the cable?

im pretty sure all newer cars have a mechanical trunk release inside the trunk, for anyone that's trapped inside.

I have an idea... lets put you inside and see if you can find your way out

Shut up Tyler lol. I figured it out guys thanks! The 2000's don't have the emergency handle inside. I had to crawl inside it form the back and undo 12 bolts to get to the mechanism and pop it open.

As for the exhaust a guy wants it but doesn't want it cut so i might have to take the rear beam off.
