I wouldn't drill right away. I'd try removing the filler-neck cover on the parcel shelf, and use a flashlight and "mirror-on-a-stick" thingy to take a peak at the latch. If nothing more it should help identify where to drill in order to avoid making swiss cheese out of your rear panel.

On my old car we used to have to push down on the trunk lid while pulling on the release cable. That would allow the latch to move.

Credit goes to Jeremy Hittle of Off Camber Racing who helped me at the track with this exact dilemma two years ago.
