Default Anyone use the ashtray as a coins storage? Any problems?.....

I used to use the ashtray for coins in the 98 A4 and coins somehow slide behind the ashtray and get stuck there. I was wondering if the S4 ashtray have similar problem. Thanks

I tried it, but was annoyed at the metal-on-metal rattling.

Default I used to put coins in there until my ashtray started getting stuck and was told the coins cause the

problem. Now I have an ashtray that doesns't open :-(

Default Dimes are small enough to fall behind the tray.

There's some plastic above the tray in the closed position that will keep all the coins but dime in the tray.

If you line the tray with adhesive felt, it'll stop the rattling.

Yeah it works, just don't let it get really full, otherwise they'll fall behind, no biggy though.

Default If you take off the shifter surround and get down under the ashtray with a flashlight you'll

probably see the coin. I pulled mine out with a stiff ziptie, find some wire or something

Might have to pop the wood off the front of the tray too, don't remember if I needed to or not.

After some of my coins got stuck behind. I put them in a bag to eliminate the problem.
