Is there a cover over the inside of the boot? If not then get a big hole cutter, cut through one of the rear lights then reach your arm through and pull the popper, have seen it done this way before, will cost you a new light though!

Should do, it wasn't on an escort cab I saw it done though so I have no idea about the set up. It should be done as a last resort measure really, and only do it if you feel confident about doing it, wouldn't want you fooking something up!
