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.

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.
