Hi All,
Another made in china part. The repo ashtray did not fit correctly from Kentucky mustang parts. I bought it from amazon and had to send it back. It did not latch like OEM part does. In the end I had to send my OEM parts out for zinc plating ( console ashtray and rear passenger ashtray). Attached is an image of issue. You can see it is shorter in height which will not allow side clips on console engage without bending them to new size. This requires taking console out again to fix this and the OEM will now not fit right after bending the side clips. I contacted west coast cougar and they posted differences. They are always helpful. Daniel Carpenter should not have put his name on this.
