Ash Tray

[Houm_WA]

So, my ash tray came out of its place. Anyone been successful putting one back on its "tracks?" I've had a hell of a time...can't do it.

Thanks,
Houm

Hmm never pulled one all the way out. Ours flew out in a car wreck last year but the truck was totaled so I never tried to put it back

What seems to be preventing it lining up? Are there retention tabs that need to be depressed?


Oops mine was a LR4. Is the tray location the same?

I replaced the assembly. I took pictures of the magical steps required to retrofit it. The solution is really to replace the ashtray assembly portion in the dash. It's a common problem.

drop me a PM w/e-mail for some pictures. seeing as pic file size is too small here, and links to other sites is blocked.

tlt, can you send to me as well? My ashtray hasn't gone in for a couple years now. I'll PM ya.

yup, I have sent e-mails to the 2 folks who requested with about 10 pictures, etc.

I'm in something of the same boat. We were cleaning out the LR3 and somehow the ash tray got pulled all the way out. It looks like there's a spring that is preventing the tray from being put all the way back in. I think it's the same spring that pulls it back in when the tray is properly mounted.
TLT: I'll PM you with a request for guidance. Thanks.

Hey, ***, can you hook me up too with that DIY for the ashtray. It seems to be a common problem for some of us. There should be a STICKY for it. Thanks!!
