Use a little silicon grease on these (and any other rubber products you are
trying to work with, including keeping weather-stripping in good shape).
Then push the rubber buttons through using a very rounded off, dull small
regular screwdriver. Be sure it is really rounded off, so that you don't
cut the rubber. The silicon grease not only preserves the rubber, it stops
any noise from motion at that location, and it makes the rubber slip though
holes that you would think are impossibly small.
Silicon grease is available at NAPA stores, and probably other auto parts
places. Keep a tube on hand!
