Seatbelt Buckle Cover and Button Removal ?

How do you remove the plastic seatbelt buckle cover from the buckle without damaging it. I carefully tried to pry it off but it won't budge and I don't want to break it. Once removed does the button come out easily?

Exploring options to replace the buttons with a good logo'd button if I can fine a good used set. I sure someone has done this

Someone suggested a hair dryer to soften the plastic first. I can break easily.

follow the above thread and you should have not problem. I did it the other day. and yes, the logo comes out very easily after that.
