I followed this ashtray removal thread here to be able to remove the ashtray and fix it.

Step 1 should be removal of the shifter bezel. I can't get that far.

Step 2 is remove the radio. No problem.

Step 3 remove the 2 screws just above the radio, holding the bezel in.

Step 4 remove the hvac bezel. I can't get this out.

Step 5 remove the four screws holding the ashtray / cigar lighter / passenger airbag light.

Step 6 remove the ashtray / cigar lighter / passenger airbag light. This look tough. Haven't got there.

So apparently at the factory, they start with the ashtray and build the car around it.

Is there anyone in Houston Texas that has done this to their car? I really hate my broken ashtray.
