j-rock Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Anybody had any problems with coins/tokens disappearing if you keep them in the ash tray (2005 2.5GT Ltd manual)? I just did an unbelievable magic trick without even trying. I opened the ash tray on my way home from work to check how many bridge tokens I had left in there. Counted five, and put them back in the tray, shutting it. I get to the bridge toll, open the ash tray--and they are all gone! Each one is about the size of a quarter (and thicker). I cannot believe that a bump in the road, or shutting the ash tray too fast made a stack of them jump out behind the dash or something. But that's the only explanation I can think of. Anybody have any tips on removing the whole ash tray unit? I tried a search already but couldn't find anything. I can get to a few screws for the stereo/heat control panels (if I pop the side trim off). Is this where I should be starting, or is there a more direct way to get the ashtray section out??

bemani Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 If you got a MT all you need to do is yank on the shift boot and the whole piece of plastic including the ashtray will pop out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-rock Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Cool, I'll go give that a try edit: Thanks, bemani. I found five stupid tokens under the shifter panel. Figured out how they got there too. A little metal tab is loose and the actual internal ash tray piece is flipping forward, revealing a way for the tokens to slip between it and the plastic door, right into the dash.
