Does anyone have a tip on how to make the ashtray/lighter door stay closed?

Take the door off and bend the spring ever so slightly to reduce the tension on it.

Oh sure that works great if you're fussy about your car - if not, duct tape it closed

Simple fix, take up smoking and no need to close it.

Seriously though, I seen a thread awhile back about this and how to fix it, did you try searching for it?

Try this thread, it may help.
