Based on mine, the release lever moves on the top towards the center of the car. sometimes this can be eased by raising one side of the car o r the other based on what people have posted.

There is also a lever that can be gotten that's supposed to be able to reach the release from the inside of the car and trip it: http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/catal...elease&x=0&y=0
