I know I've seen threads pertaining to the ash tray door that pops open, but can't find it with a search. Anyone have a simple solution to this problem?

There has been at least one DIY solution posted here. Might have been in the C6 Gen section, I'm not sure. If someone doesn't post it here, a search will probably turn it up.

EDIT: I believe this is the one I remembered. It was in the Z06 section.

I reformed the spring such that the ashtray is sprung closed (no one will smoke in my car while I own it). Now the gap at the top is as it should be.
