    I have a floating ashtray that I can't seem to get to stay anchored.

    I see the two knotches on the front of the ashtray, and I get them to go into the plastic console. Is there something in the rear that needs to click in too?

    I've looked at the console removal threads, but there i no good picture.

    it should just rest in there level. try putting a thin coat of chalk on the bottom of the ashtray to see if something is stopping it.

    Thank you very much for the pics.

    It looks like I need to take a few screws off and get at the ashtray from the bottom.

    Cheers man!
