help! trunk lid won't open!
 

Help my husband and you'll be helping me!! He's restoring a 1972 911 Targa, (total restor,new paint job). Went to rehang the trunk lid (had a new cable, thought it was installed properly) - but now that it's down and in place it won't open. We're reasoning that there must be an alternate way to release it (without hacking up the paint). ... any advice would be greaaaatly appreciated. Thank you ;)
