which buttons are you on about

if its the grey ones in the trim, they just push in.
but be carefull getting them out, as they mark very easily and look crap when you put them back in.
you can but a tool to do it with its a bit like a small lever bar that has a slit in it.

if your buttons look like a big screw head then use a 50 pence peice to turn them half a turn and they should pop out.

carefully take the covers off
two holes are screws the other is rivet
little metal brackkets under the spoiler what they screw or rivet to.
if the screws dont tightnen it up then you may have to take the spoiler off
and start again

yeah just had a look at mine the best way to remove those covers is with a pick.
but be real carfull as they are painted and you could cause damage to the paint.

anyway once your in it is as c9sse said
