Ash Tray Will Not Open (Reposition Ash Tray Reflector Flap, Replace Ash Tray, if Necessary)

Some customers may comment that the ash tray housing will not open.

This condition may be caused by the ash tray reflector flap folded forward causing the ash tray not to open.

Remove and reinstall the ash tray.

1. Open the ash tray as seen in the illustration above.



2. Push the ash tray forward and hold the reflector flap down with a screw driver as seen in the illustration above. Pull rearward. This will allow the ash tray reflector flap to pass by the housing and fully open.
3. Replace the ash tray receptacle if damaged.

Parts are currently available from GMSPO.
