Hardest part about the tonneau lid is getting it all aligned when you put it back. But it's do-able.
Have you confirmed that there's no way to release the latch with the cable. You say the cable missing; is there not even a small bit you can catch with some needle-nose pliers? I seem to recall that there's access to some bits through the back of the trunk, but perhaps I'm not remembering correctly.
Anyway, if all else fails, I'd just remove the 8 bolts for the lid. And then fix whatever's broken so you don't find yourself in this position again!!
Thanks for your reply BoilardZ - I just got back from vacation, sorry I have been quiet for a while.

Great to hear you went in from the back via the hinges, as going through the front and removing all the plastic trim behind the seats sounds horrible. So other than playing with the alignment of the 8 bolts/2 hinges when I put the cover back on, are there any other difficult parts of this job that can really catch you out?
