I cannot remove my ashtray!! 

I have read the owner's manual and tried every method know to woman to remove it. I have even had other people have a got at removing the little blighter with no success. 

Any ideas????

[Surferdude]

Hmmm?

No.

(Trev studies his ripped and bleeding fingers ruefully).

Hey surferdude, Looks like you've had the same problem as me...except mine was only broken nails, no bleeding fingers here...

[Surferdude]

^^^^ 
Your nails might be a bit longer than mine.

I didn't really cut myself but I can't get it out.
Figure it has something to do with that silver clip at the back.

Anybody????????

BTW. I don't need to take it out. I just store a couple of keys for my surfboard fins in there, wrapped in cloth so they don't rattle.

It doesn't come out!

Only the insert can be removed.

yep what he said! there is an insert that goes in the "tray" that comes out! ill take a pic for you!

[agentr31]

here is how to remove the ash tray...

note the 2 half circle cut outs!!


grasp them and pull up!


this happens!


then once its uncliped pull the tray out


instalation is the reverse!

seat the insert like so, make sure its pushed back as far as it will go


then push down like so and it should "click" in!
