Need Help With My 84-85 Ashtray
The ashtray in Gus was broken when I bought him and I need some help troubleshooting. I would like to repair it, but I have never seen one of these ashtrays that isn't broken. All of the ones I have ever come across are broken. Mine appears to be 95% complete, but when you push the button to open it nothing happens. When I removed my carpet I found a little spring on the floor. I am wondering if this is the missing piece to get the astray working again?
Please look at the picture of the spring I found. Does this go to the ashtray? What is broken on my ashtray, and what do I need to do to get it working again?

Found it Works great, no broken tabs. Only bad thing is the door is shedding. You can just use your door. Just hope you don't need the trim surrounding it, because... it died.
Here's some pics.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info. I still wasn't sure exactly why mine wouldn't work. Mine appears to have taken some rather serious damage then. I didn't have the rod or any of the plastic that it fits into. I can see where it is supposed to go though. Using the remnants of mine, and the functioning one Dcashdollar is sending me I should be able to put together a nice looking functional one to complete Gus' dash.
