Default Broken ash tray lid

How many of you guys have this happen to you, it's just so flimsy. I was trying to get change out and one of the tabs on the side just snapped off. Damn cheap plastic. Where do they sell new ones of these things?

All the bumping isn't necessary....

Try one of our sponsors like Year One or Tennessee Auto.

I just got my 02 WS6 and the damn ash tray lid was broke already. One of the tabs broke off. I tried a few dealers and they will only sell you the entire console for like $100!! They can not sell you just the lid. So I did a Google search and came upon a site called pontiac-parts-for-less.com. Great online catalog and diagrams. All new OEM parts. (also have Chevy parts) I figured what the hell it was only $13 so if I got screwed I only lost $13. They emailed me a tracking number and it should be here tomorrow. Give them a try. Seems pretty good so far. They actually responded to my emails after the sale as well. Good luck.

Out of the 5 that I've test driven and two that I've owned all had broken ash trays... *shrugs* I guess no one cares enough to fix them.

Never seen that problem. I'm sure if I buy another f-body that one will have it though. Since I had never heard of the cracked door panel, and this one has it on both.

Same here - have no idea what the deal is but will pm you for more information. Out of all the models its seems they break from position in the console more than anything - same tabs on the Z28 but its set further back and less prone to getting snapped.

You can order the ashtray lid from SDPC who is a sponsor for around $15.

Here are the part numbers:
ashtray lid/cover, manual trans (97-02) = 10271366
ashtray lid/cover, auto trans (97-02) = 10408634

I just pulled the black part out to get some change out and the lid just popped off, It does make a good change holder I must say. I'm very easy on my interior, I had my 94 T/A for a long time and never had any problems with it.

Yeah, mine broke too. The dealer was happy to take my money.
