Replaced difficult to press boot-lid button under the edge of the boot lid. Was very very difficult to squeeze. 51247463162 is the current part for cars with a backup camera and was about $34.

Removing the old one destroys it, so don't take it out unless you have the replacement ready. Easy 30 minute job including removing the license plate and holder, cleaning up the paint underneath. The hardest part is getting the reverse camera to snap into the new part since the camera cable is so short. Make sure the camera snaps in on both sides because if it should pop back into the boot lid, you'll have to replace the whole button unit again.
