I have a coin stuck somewhere in my ashtray as well, and it will not close. Is there a simple way to remove the center console in a 05 AT Sedan?

It's the same on the 04 6MT.

I have the opposite problem, my console somehow shifted a little and I can't get mine to close

I also have the same problem as one of the previous posters where the rear ashtray fell off and I can't get it back on either. I guess I'll ask the dealer to fix that too.

Hopefully they're nice enough to fix these things w/ no charge, WHY DIDNT I GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY?!?!

I felt around under the boot and didn't find anything that would release the console. I was afraid of ripping the boot in fact by pushing too hard where I felt two grooves.

Thank God it isn't just me. I probably have 8 dollars in change jammed in my ashtray and it decided to get stuck the day I decided to clean it out. I'm gonna let the dealership take a look at it next time I go in for service.
