    Two buttons in the center console went down into the console itself when I was pressing it any ideas how I can get them back?

    Long Tweezers fit?
    Long slender pliars?
    Curved cable tie,loop it around?
    Does the console clip out on bottom?
    Has to be some way of removing without damaging it

    Removing the console is the only way or if you can unclip the panel the switches are on, some can be unclipped and others are part of the console itself.

    Try this, because once they have gone through the hole what ever was holding them is most likely broken or moved. So you'll need to secure them to the panel somehow and that has to be from the underneath.

    Im not sure about that car but some of those panels are part of the console itself even though the look to be separate, or in certain cars like some hondas the switches are screwed to the back of the centre console so i'd take a gentle approach to see if it will unclip.

    IF it was screwed on it wouldn’t have fallen off :)

    It’s a SEAT, you probably just have to look at it and it’ll fall off
