Ashtray opening further?

[Jeffs Black 97 Formula A4]

Is there anyway to make the ashtray open up more than it normally does? I have a 97 console with an auto tranny if that helps. Thanks!

A little off topic here

I dont smoke but dont try and force it open cause someone did mine and its broke. Anyone know where I can get a replacement lid for it and how to put it in?

[Jeffs Black 97 Formula A4]

I don't smoke either. I'm trying to fit a dock for my portable player inside the ashtray lid, and have the lid close when not in use.

Mine broke a few years ago, was able to get a replacement at a dealer. Sorry I don't know the part number.

Mine broke last year. I was able to remove it from the upper console, but I was told by a couple dealers that you cannot buy this seperately and you must buy the upper console part, called the shift plate. This is the upper trim including the ash tray lid, cup holder, and the a/t shift plate (P, R, N, OD, etc.)

One place quoted me a price of 70 bucks. I've also tried watching ebay auctions and going to local junk yards but I cannot find it. I may have to bite the bullet and buy the new part in order to make it look whole again.

Sounds like you need to look for another dealer. I was able to buy just the lid and it only cost me $10.

Is that for the auto trans. model? what year? I think they are different from 98 on. And the 6 speed console is totally different. do you have a part number?

[Jeffs Black 97 Formula A4]

01Y87,

Yes, it's for an auto. 97+ have the updated console and I believe they're all the same. Sorry I don't have a part number.

6 speed may be different (I'm now guessing that's what you have)

[01Y87]

No, mine is an auto. I can't find a part number for it and my local dealers say its not available.

[Jeffs Black 97 Formula A4]

Just thought of this. Do you still have the broken ashtray lid? If so, you may be able to get a part number off that.

#1, then pick your color

I'm going to have to take that over to my dealer and see if they'll sell me that.
