Boy do I feel stupid asking this question in this part of the forum. This is my 13th Vette and I cannot fix this annoyance.
The ash tray door will not remain closed. The slightest bump causes it to open. I may start smoking simply to leave it open.
Any experience on anyone's part with this?
Can I just have the dealer "pop in" another ash tray with the door?
i feel the same way !!i got my 2007 z about three weeks ago ! at first i thought maybe i can fix it but no reading your post its a defect in assembly, it looks like the hook that catches the is to short or just catches it but as soon as you drive it pops open??
pretty bad for $73,000 !! i hate when things like that happen it makes you think why they didnt look at this before leaving the plant?
Once again...this ash tray issue is very interesting. I got so fed up that I called a local dealer and spoke with the service manager. He has 'never heard about this problem' prior to my call. I then called another dealer to order the parts needed to fix the problem (thanks to our forum). That dealer has never heard of this problem either. I then called GM (Chevrolet) and believe it or not(?!) the girl in Argentina (out-sourcing by GM) knew nothing about the ash tray issues either. Perhaps we are simply making this up??!!
I have an appointment for the ash tray next week at my local dealer for them to replace the door and dampener ($30 warranty items).
As a side note: The roof panel recall parts are back ordered and they have no idea when they will be available. In the meantime I was told not to drive the car in the heat at higher speeds.
I used to live and work in Leesburg at the Air Traffic Control Center. Have not been back for a while. How is everything in Leesburg?
By the way, I plug my Valentine into the cigar lighter, hense, no problem with the door as it is always open. :=)
Ron,
All is well in Leesburg. I live not far from the ATC Center. I do not know how long it has been since you lived here so I will not bore you with all of the changes. This area is "out of control" when it pertains to development and building. Did you live in Leesburg?

Yes, I lived there for a couple of years and then I moved to Harpers Ferry. I worked at the Center for 17 years.
