Default Trunk push button screw?

Anyone know what this screw is called that holds the trunk release to the bumper? Mine somehow fell off and the button now goes in when I press it to open.

Actually, it's a rivet not a screw.

There isn't a screw that holds the button in iirc. It should just snap/clip in. Been a few years sine I had to replace mine but it just popped out.

Yep, it's a plastic rivet and I think it has nothing to do with the trunk push button. I think it and several others like it are part of fastening the bumper cover to the car. I suspect, as did another forum member, that the pushbutton is at fault. Perhaps its fastening clip (or what ever) has broken. Try removing a taillight and peeking down there with the help of lights/mirrors.
