Does anyone know what actually keeps the ashtray closed on this model?
I use the tray for a change holder and yesterday it opened on its own
and now it wont stay closed. I cant seem to find any locking mechanism
on it so I dont know what the problem could be. Any advice would be
greatly appreaciated.

This is what happened to me. It is hard to explain. I took out the tray
(removable part), then the part that hold the removable part. There was a
few coins stuck under there. I took the coins out, then put everything back
together again, and the ashtray closed. I know this post sounds illiterate,
but it is the best I can explain it.

Same thing happened on my truck - a few coins fell behind it.

Take the ashtray out and remove the coins under it that are making the
door stay open..It's happened to about everyone..

I had the same thing happen on my 98 ram I some how the metal clip came up
missing so I bought some self adhesive HD velcro form Mc Master-Carr. It
has been working well ever since.
