Ash Tray Not Staying/Locking In


Recommended Posts

My ash tray won't stay closed. It is not "locking" in, and now the tray is just laying out and it's in the way since the shifter is right by it. I tried pulling it out (as far as it would go without yanking it) and checking what is causing this, but I can't seem to find the culprit. The hinges seem find and the tray itself slides fine, but the "pushing" in just wouldn't catch. And this failure causes it to pop back out rapidly, which seemed quite dangerous. Any help is appreciated!

Mine was locked in and could not open. Managed to open, by prying the door open pulling on the side, inserting credit card under to release the catch. Now it's open and won't close, same as your problem. Looks like ashtray exchange is more work than removing the bezel, so it's still open. Any info is appreciated.
