What happens here

After removing the shutters, you may find that some of the button bases have broken off, leaving a short stub in the siding. Use wire cutters to clip the end of the broken button flush with the house siding. Then, take a flathead screwdriver and place it on the clipped button end. Lightly tap the screwdriver with a hammer, pushing the remaining portion of the button into the empty space behind the siding. This creates a clear hole for new shutter buttons.

Goal: Clear remaining broken button pieces from the siding.

What they say

Hide

to There you go. We had a couple of them that actually broke off. So, they shut it out of the six. There was two of them that actually bust it off. And so, we're just taking we're going to clip the end of it completely off. And then we're going to take a flathead screwdriver and we're going to tap it inside till it falls inside the house. Now, we're going to just take a flathead screwdriver on this one that bust it off. Take that screwdriver, tap it in, and it'll just fall into the empty space in the back of the house. Now, you have your empty hole for your new shutter button.
