So a couple of push buttons for my hood insulation got old and brittle and turned to powder, like many other plastic pieces for this vehicle.
The dealer pulled up a drawing and identified PN 001-988-03-25, which are used everywhere other than the 2 circled locations. I am looking for the pins for the circled locations, which fit into a smaller hole than the normal ones. Why they used a different part for those 2 specific locations is completely beyond me.
Unfortunately the PN listed above does not work with the smaller holes. Yes, I bought one and tried.
The pin size is ~6.6mm.
Would anybody happen to know the PN for these, or can someone recommend a 3rd party product (online source) that can do the job? Thanks in advance.

Not sure on MB PN.
I can try to check later, but Carquest (or any local decent parts supplier) should have an abundant supply. Just mic out the size you need...or buy a variety!
Looks like the local auto parts store had a plastic trim push pin selection. Was able to find something that did the job.
The 2 circled holes are actually 6mm diameter. However the insulation liner holes are more like 11mm so a larger head diameter is needed. The ones I used which did the job were 17mm. Can't go too large in this respect or the head will overlap with the aluminum foil section.
Also be sure not to pick one with too large of a stem length. The one I used was 16mm but I would recommend something more like 8-10mm.
