Thanks guys! I'm gonna go out and try it right now and hopefully taking the latch out and pulling it will help. If not, I will try the fender idea and pull the wire from there. The ramp idea won't work because I can't start my car and to get it up the ramp I would have to push. That would be too difficult for me and my father to do.

I'll let everyone know if it works... I really appreciate all the creative ideas.
