Default Big trouble

While I was waiting for my rear control unit to dry out ,I decided to take the time for some maintenance that I have been ignoring. Installed new brakes and drained the engine coolant. Well the rear control unit is toast, now the clamshell will not open and can’t get the roof to service mode to refill the coolant. Is it possible to fill from the reservoir cap next to the oil fill in the trunk. Please help

The reservoir could be be used but would be very slow and you won’t be able to have the bleed valve open.

There is an emergency release pull cable for the clamshell.

Unfortunately I can't remember where it is in its stock config...
