Default How to replace that pesky broken ashtray/coin holder
This is fairly easy all you need is a crosstip screwdriver, radio removal tools...you can get these from walmart for 4.50$ and a upholstry removal tool OR a knife if you are careful! otherwise you will scratch the console. I am attaching a link to a photobucket picture because I cant get the picture to load on here ...shocker.....anyway if you look at the picture its fairly straight forward ...the key is paitence and be gentle prying. First pry up #1 in the pic....its the shifter surrounding....next pry up the shroud thingy inside the first shroud(#2 in the pic)....look at the pic you will know what I mean. Then pry up (#3) the biggest shroud around the shifter. These should come up easy just dont pry hard and work your way around the shifter and it will come up. Next insert the radio removal keys into the radio (you can see them in the pic) and if correctly inserted the radio will slide right out. And finally unscrew the 4 screws that hold the ashtray in, you will have to undo a few wires once you get it out. Its a tight fit ( I mean the ashtray in that small hole. You will need to push it towards the driver side then angle that pass, side towards the rear off the car and rotate it out...........then just reverse these steps putting it back in.......I used a manual and it said I had to remove all kinds of other junk ...as you can see in the picture....you dont need to do that and its a complete waste of time if you do. Anyway I hope this helps, its my first how to type of post and Its prolly really crummy of a post but eh oh well :P PM me if you have any questions. Thanks
