Ashtray loose?

[clockwize]

Hey,

 

 

The ashtray in my centre console moves and doesn't seem to clip in to anything, I can't see how it does clip, though I can sit it in the correct place where it looks right and opens correctly.. Before I get the double sided sticky tape out, is there a proper way this is secured in place?

 

Thanks in advance

Mine doesn't move around when it's seated correctly, but it does really "clip in" as such.

 

PS - Sorry for slightly off topic, but whilst you're in there, can you confirm if your ashtray light stays on all the time? Mine does and not sure if it's supposed to.

My light comes ones when the lights of the car are on, I think also when the interior lights are on.

 

 

 

OP, it doesn't clip, it just slips in

From memory there's a spring clip on the ashtray which holds it in position ... I seem to remember mine broke and I bought a new ashtray from the ZedMan so

I think the light stays on, as I can't see any way it would know to be on/off depending on the ashtray being open, no switch or anything. I can sit mine right but when I open it, it moves out of position.. will doubled sided tape it later Need to superglue the flap back together as one side snapped during transit (replaced flocked one..)

Here's a pic showing the spring clip which broke on mine

Ahhh I thought of the spring for the lid which I have, didn't realise there was a metal clip.. Oh well don't think I'll be able to source just the clip so double sided tape will do

I think I paid £10 for a new ashtray

[clockwize]

£10?! DAYLIGHT ROBBERY! I expected it to be more than that.. maybe I'll try tape, if its not quite good enough, I'll get one cheers

Looks like I got a good deal way back then ... mine was not new IIRC

[clockwize]
