Angry Ash Tray & Cigarette Lighter Problem

Hey guys!

I was cleaning out my car last week and went through the task of taking out all the coins outta the ash tray. I think I got all the coins...but for some reason, the ash tray/ cigarett lighter tray won't close all the way!!! Any of you guys ever had this problem?...if ya did, how did you fix it? Thanks!

You have to watch out for loose coins behind the coin holder. It happened to me while back, and I really had hard time taking it out.

Do not put too much coins in there.

I had the same problem. I just bent a paperclip into a hook and rooted around back there until I pulled the coin out.

Thanks guys for all the input!
It sure beats my idea of using a piece of string and some gum
I'll try out your suggestions and hopefully I can get those coins out!!
