Interior problem 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 34k miles

my ashtray in the center will not close i do not use it except for storing quarters for meters and tolls. it used to glide in and out by gently pushing the center of the ashtrayone afternoon i heard something fall in the back of it while i was waiting at a light later told myself to checkout if i could see it come out and get the change..now it just slides to the rear but it does not engage to the locked position, i noticed a piece of metal at the back and the insert part of the ashtray has a black plastic tit alsoit seems to push against the metal "spring" in the rear near the light how do i remove the whole ashtray to see what fell in side

Hey WND,

It sounds like you have some quarters that have come out of the tray and have jammed it up, here are some diagrams so you can take it apart and clean it out so it will work again.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Best, Ken
