Stuck ashtray...one more time
I have read all the posts. It looks like the easiest method is to remove the shifter surround, but I am not quite sure what this means. Could someone elaborate on this?
Thanks,
Ken

To take it out just stick your hand into the shifter hole (you don't have to remove the shifter cover) and grab the inside edge of the surround. Pull up and the surround should pop out.
It is clipped in only - there are no screws or anything like that.

Thanks, that worked, and I got the ashtray out. Now I need to remove the offending coins; any tricks?
Thanks again,

The shifter surround is the little piece on the center console around your shifter - typically this has the same color/wood grain as your dash inlays.

Coins? Sorry man, once you lose a coin in this car it is gone. I probably have 5 bucks under the driver's seat at this point. I consider it a tithe. GL!

Now I've tried a knife with two sided tape and a vacuum without any luck. I can't see anything to remove but the ashtray will not work. I have removed it, but I can't reinstall and get it to work.

If I'm understanding you right the problem with the ashtray is that it will not pop out like it is supposed to? If that is the case I have the same issue - it seems to be a problem with the spring mechanism. I don't think it can be fixed easily - the spring just gets worn out...

You're understanding me right, but the problem started when I lost a quarter under the ashtray.

P.S. unless you're a smoker, I'm not sure if its really worth the time. But I'd hope you don't smoke in your Sexy times four!

Can you steer me toward these Tech articles; I'm having trouble finding them.
