I did try to search for trunk removal and couldn’t find anything. Looking for instructions on how to remove the trunk on my 2008 gem e4?

Did you try turning the T handle on the back of the cab?  
If it is locked and you do not have the key you can gain access to the linkage by removing the seat back of the back seat(is that redundant?)

Have someone back there to catch the pod when you DO flip the lever from the inside. I’m pretty sure it will come off with a bit of vigor (no thanks to gravity).

Take the 2 screws out of the handle base and turn the handle counter clockwise.

Ha! or there is that!
