Ash Tray fix for C6...
I have an 07 coupe and the damned ashtray opens every few seconds!!! I just can't believe this..........called the dealer and the service manager said there was a 'fix' coming at the first of the month for this. Guess I'll tape it shut until then!! 
There may have been a previous 'FIX' for this, but apparently it wasn't to good, because August 1st GM is releasing another fix. My service dept mgr said to call him on the 1st and he would order the part without me having to come in and have them check it out.....

Caught your edit: I had been doing a search and it appears you are right; to a large degree the "fixes" were not satisfactory.

Now that is funny! Mine gave way last weekend!
