Trunk won't open!

I have fold down back seat and luckely one the passanger rear seat wasn't engaged so I can access my trunk through there if need be. <snip> What's this stationary latch on the trunk inside?

Checking the M-B WIS documents, what I called the stationary latch is actually called the Striker Eye, and is the stationary part that the trunk lid latch mechanism (sometimes called the Actuator) latches/hooks onto.

It looks like if you remove the two 'Striker Eye Screws' holding down the Striker Eye, the lid will open (taking the unfastened Striker Eye with it) even though the lid latch mechanism is still clamped onto the Striker Eye.
Here's a link to a photo taken from inside a trunk after folding down a rear seat.

1) Gently pry out the two clips (2026930227 you can see one of which is leaning up on the right hand side of the photo).
2) Have someone hold down the trunk lid while you remove the two bolts/screws now exposed.
3) Lift the lid carefully in case the now unfastened Striker Eye wants to drop loose so that it doesn't fall onto your bumper or onto the ground.
4) With the trunk open, you can fix the problem.

When reattaching the Striker Eye, pay close attention to the bolt head marks so that you mount it in the same exact location as it was, else you'll have to realign it again. However, if you change your lid mounted latch/actuator, you may have to realign the Striker Eye anyway.
