Seems like a blow dryer worked (what the heck is the purpose of gluing that thing on there anyways)
Last step is to find out a way to dissemble the emergency latch, keyhole, and latch to close the trunk. Anyone know how to do this?

I'm interested in this also. I have a emergency latch trunk but I bought a wingless trunk that doesn't have it.

Nevermind got it once again
For those who attempt to do this in the future there's one Philips screw on the emergency latch and a flathead screw on the key lock
Once key lock is out proceed to pull towards you.

but are you putting the emergency latch back into the new trunk or leaving it out?

Of course putting it back. If you don't there's a huge gapping hole.
Its pretty easy to put on compared to the lock. I'm actually finishing up right now.
