Newbe Question
Does the ash tray door supposed to have a spring or something so the door stays open?
Referring to the actual ash tray, not the access door to the ash tray.
Thanks

When you open the outer lid (large lid), the ashtray has a spring on it and the lid to it opens too. So yes, there should be a spring on the lid. At least mine has one.

Yes mine has. But I did find the spring that is used to flip it open when the ash tray door is opened was dislodged. Probably done on purpose to discourage use.

Okay, so now I know the ash tray door is missing its spring; so now I need a picture of where the spring is supposed to be.
For now I removed it as the door rattles a bit.
The drink holder door spring just recently broke and I have not removed the console (again) to do anything with it yet.
So any kind sole willing to take a picture of the ash tray door spring for me?

8VETTE7: thanks for the picture, simple spring but is missing from mine. The door hinge pin was loose when I got the car and so the spring is long gone.
And I think like others, I have no use for the ash tray so I will also put my garage door opener in this area.
