Well, OK...it's just the ashtray cover door/panel where i guess the spring came off so it won't stay closed all the way; apparently the spring on the lid of the actual ashtray is more powerful than whatever is now supposed to hold the cover/panel over it shut. Oh well, guess it's time to take the console out and look.

Rats...

If you've got a stick it would be a great time to put an after market shifter in you're half way there. JMO.
