Does anyone else use the "Not an ashtray" as a coin holder? If so, DON'T! For the second time in the 4 months I've owned my cls, I had a coin come out and somehow get lodged in the very back of the tray, preventing me from opening it. I had to force it to open and somehow go the coin out, but now the tray doesn't pull down as smoothly and creaks a little while you do it.

What is the production date on your CLS? I think the newer ones had a fix to this if I am not mistaken - mine, built in September does not have this problem....yet.

Your tray "creaks" because their is either a coin still stuck way down in the mechanics of the tray, or you broke something forcing the thing open.

I had this very same problem when I first got the car. I had to take half my console apart to get the stuck coin. IT WAS NOT AN EAST TASK, and I operate and fix Arcade games for a living, And that's Easy.

Ditto!!!! Mine squeaks a little now when I open it, but the actual pulling open is still relatively smooth...

I use that little cut-out spot under the "not a ashtray" for my change and my cell phone holder. I do have change in the "NAA", but it doesn't seem to be a problem....

That must be a fun job. I love video games.

Please have a crane drop on my car so I have to buy a new CL-S. But wait till I'm not in the car. Thanks

 

What's the fix on the later models? Mine has a slight lip on top top help prevent it, but if you have any more than 15-20 coins in there, any sudden stops or turns or anything will likely cause this problem.

I definitely didn't want to get in to the dash to fix things. I'm pretty sure I bent something in there while trying to pry it open.

I think the reason mine "broke" was cuz I stuffed it too full with coins...mostly quarters mind you.
