Ash Tray to usable Coin Tray mod

The first mod addresses one of my main annoyances with my car ... the ash tray. I don't smoke, so I don't need an ash tray. However, I do tend to keep a bunch of change in my car, and the ash tray is a logical storage area for it. Unfortunately the lip on the tray makes it extremely difficult to get coins back out of the tray. On to the fix:
Materials needed: - Ash tray - Scissors - Thin sheet of plastic (I used a clear binder cover) - Clear tape https://www.audiforums.com/forum/att...achmentid=4021 Step 1: Remove ash tray from car (it pulls right out) Step 2: Cut out a small strip of plastic, spanning the distance from the cigarette holder to the right side of the ash tray (~ 4.625" x .75" or 117mm x 20mm) https://www.audiforums.com/forum/att...achmentid=4022 Step 3: Affix a piece of tape spanning the width of the plastic strip to one side of the strip. https://www.audiforums.com/forum/att...achmentid=4023 Step 4: Insert the plastic strip into the open ash tray, with about a 2mm (~1/16th") overlap and affix the tape to the ash tray. https://www.audiforums.com/forum/att...chmentid=40243 Voila! https://www.audiforums.com/forum/att...achmentid=4026 https://www.audiforums.com/forum/att...achmentid=4025 l8r) |
