I have also had the rear tire rub the trunk release cable and wear away the plastic housing. I ordered a new cable from Lotus Garage and have unscrewed the trunk latch and the cockpit lever to free up both ends. Problem is that the cable seems to be stuck where it goes thru the aluminum rear cockpit wall. I can push it into the grommet from the engine bay, but it only flexes into the intermediate compartment and "springs" back when I release it. I plan to try moving the cable again after I receive the new cable and will fully disconnect the release and latch.

Does anyone know why the cable would be sticking as it goes thru the rear cockpit wall?

I did a search and couldn't find anything. Thanks for your help.
