The second button is a PITA to remove but I got it out by removing the hood latch from the cowl support (2 13mm bolts) and then reaching in thru the grill and prying the keeper out of the center of the button. I then lifted the piece out where the hood latch was. Now I can see the blue paint on the radiator cowl support thru the grill. I'm going to put it back on to cover this up. Just curious after seeing OPs pic and had to go in for a closer look.

did you notice any differnece once you removed the piece?
