Subject: Front Floor Console Compartment Door Interference (Sticks, Will Not Fully Open) with Ashtray (Replace Ashtray)
Models:
2004-2009 Cadillac XLR
Condition
Some customers may comment that the front floor console compartment door sticks or will not fully open.
Cause
As it rotates open, the front floor console door may be contacting the outer right edge of the ashtray. There may be insufficient clearance between the console door and the ashtray.
Correction
Replace the original front floor console ashtray with a newly redesigned ashtray which provides sufficient clearance for the console door.
1. Open the front floor console compartment door.
2. Remove the console compartment divider and slightly lift the forward edge of the console cupholder upward to allow for easier removal of the ashtray.
3. Push inward on the tab (1) and pull up to remove the ashtray from the console compartment.
4. Push the new replacement ashtray into the console compartment until the retaining tab (1) snaps into place.
5. Reposition the console cupholder and reinstall the console compartment divider.
6. Close the front floor console compartment door, then release open again, to verify full travel of the compartment door.
