ON the trunk problem, some have lubed all thier pivot points and said that that helps, or you can get the "trunk popper" things and it will come up about 1-2". I made my own with a spring from Lowes and about 5 minutes and about $1.

You could try painting the backside of the buttons with black paint and a teeny weeny paint brush, other then that you're gonna need new buttons. If I understand the problem correctly...
