The ash tray in my 71 won't stay up. What's missing that would keep it from hanging down?

Probably just worn out. I think they stopped using springs after 1970

Never seen a 71/72 non-SS ashtray just hang down and not close back up. Is yours black? If so, think I have an old ash tray frame in a junk box somewhere. You can have it for the shipping. That should show you what's wrong with yours.

Yes, it is black. The car is not an SS, but I swapped in this SS dash (round guages) that I found at a swap meet.

The ash trays are different on a SS. Guess I can't help.

I put the repro dash in my convertible - didn't use the ones he is selling, but found them some were else.

I bet that's what I need. I'll take a look, when I get home. Thanks.
