While working and not succeeding on several other jobs, I decided my annoying ash tray was going to feel my wrath. It never sits flush when pushed back in. I don't use it, more play with it once in a while to reseat it. I pulled it all out, tray and rail and it looks like the spring loaded chrome pop up piece of metal from the tray is getting caught in a depression in the top of the carrier rail. If I look at the back end and put a small pry tool in there, I can get it to go the full way against the rails. It won't do this as it currently is assembled. Pressure does not work either.
I am at a loss to figure out what might be bent or misaligned to fix it. It's the only one I have for reference. I'll check the books to see if the pictures show anything. |

I have been thinking about a replacement with something. This car needs so much work right now that I can't drive it for very long so this is off in the distance right now. Just trying to knock off some low hanging fruit. Something to fill that hole is all it does for me. |

is there something in the dash, behind the ash tray keeping it from going back all the way?

It has been a while since I have looked at mine, but yours appears longer that what I remember... Is there a difference among years?

I replaced my ashtray with an aluminum insert that is the mount for my interior light. That needed a new home when I carpeted the rear bulkhead.

The picture that looks longer is deceiving. I placed the ash tray on the bracket to show both and the wear points so it does look longer, it is not. Nothing inside impedes the tray installation.
