Loose ashtray that keeps opening? Here is the solution!

Yep! All of 5 mins with a stubby phillips

 

I'll have to give this a try.

 

I just put strips of electric tape on ashtray rails, Still going strong after 2 years.

 

I’m having this problem too. Is there any way to see the images OP originally posted? They all say unavailable

 

I don't know about his fix, but I super glued 1/8" strips of business cards on both sides. My ashtray fix has lasted me, 15+ years

 

First of all, sorry for my English. I just want to help and show the solution that worked for me

Use a heat gun, heat the plastic part that I show in the image. When that part is a little soft, press it upwards so that it closes more.

I don't know if I explained it well, but that little arm gets tired over time. You just have to reposition it by closing it with heat.





The image below shows the slot in the ashtray that rests on the arm you are going to heat up.
