All '69 Pontiacs I've removed original releases from used a black "raised bubble" style button with the pink wire style trunk release. I have not removed a factory trunk release from a late production '69 Firebird or documented a late build original car with its original optional trunlk release. The shallow style greenish/turquoise Pontiac trunk release buttons began being used in August '69 & were used through mid '74 production.

It's a black plastic push button with a chrome nut holding it in place in the glove box liner . The one I have has the button broken off. It IS NOT the same as the 70 and up push-in style with green/yellow buttons. see picture below

Yes, I referred it as the "raised bubble" style, have pulled those before.
