Pull down the arm rest in the back seat of your car. When you do this you will see a locked pass-thru. Use the metal key on your fob to open it. Then you can access the rope or maybe the emergency handle inside the trunk.
Good luck

Get a knife and start cutting as much of the rope as you can and try to pull it through?

Next time choose a crappy car for that kind of stuff.
