My Ashtray won't close on my 2005 G coupe

Hey Guys,

I think I've got a coin that has wedged itself up under or behind my ashtray and when I try to close it it stops about 1/4" before the latch would come into play and close the tray. I've taken the little mini tray out and have run a business card around the edge to try to get the coin out of the way but I think I need to take the full tray out. Does anyone know an easy way of doing this? I don't want to have the dealer taking apart the chrome console to fix it. Can the big tray be removed easily?

Any advice would be appreciated.

if its a manual it will pop out easy...just undo the shift **** by twisting it counter clock wise, put it in 4th gear and pop up the shift cover, then take out the ashtray from the back by removing the screws

My G has an automatic tranny. Thanks for the advice. I'm sure I can get it fixed. My main concern is I don't want to create a squeak or a looseness in the console just to get the jammed coin out of there. Any other G owners with an auto tranny?
