clockwize Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockwize Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 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..)

clockwize Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
