Help trunk wont open!

1999 - SL600 and the trunk will not open with the remote, dash switch or key. I twisted the key in all directions and tried to no avail, I can hear the latch making noise but when I push the button, nada. I have about $400 of perishable of food being held hostage and the dealer can not see me till Monday. Anyone know of a trick?

trunk release

My 99 SL does it once in a while, I lock the car ,insert the key in the trunk lock turn it counter clockwise 9 o'clock to unlock hold it till the door locks pop up and the windows roll all the way down, turn the key clockwise to 3 o'clock position till the door locks and the windows roll back all the way up, return the key to center remove it, depress lock with your finger,I prefer the middle one when I do it and ussually it will open, sometimes I have to repeat the process a couple of times but usually it works for mine, I would think that if the locks on the doors pop up and down and the windows response to the trunk lock it should open
Good luck
