The fuel door is another and you can just reach it from the trunk (fold back plastic side liner). You can get at both tubes under the front passenger seat outside. There should be 4 tubes going aft there, a set for the RR door and a set for the fuel/trunk. The rubber tees were still fine in my car.
You know you can find these for between $30-60 bucks on eBay?

+1 on trunk actuator. Had the same issue, been good ever since.
