: Tipical stealer reaction ! Do not listen to them !
1. Buy an ashtray from a dealer
Part Number # 51 16 1 940 843 $64.00
2. Take the old ashtray apart and save the lid.
3. Take the new ones apart and put it back with
the old (wood) lid and you are finished !If you have a regular plastic without the wood, it is even simplier, but the lid replacement is very easy to do.
Actually there is not many things can be broken, probably a little shaft is missing, that's why it doesn't stay closed.
I have a complete ashtray without the lid, so if anybody needs parts, let me know.
