Default Help! The ashtray is stuck on my 01 S4 Avant. How do I get it unstuck?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/33213/back_2.jpg"></center><p>I can pry it open with a knife, but then when I close it again it gets stuck. I tried spraying some cleaner in it and moving the tray back and forth, but once I slide it all the way closed it gets stuck.

Is there anyway to get to the back of it?

Default I had the same problem, I used some thick cardboard to try and clear it, hitting
the side of the center console seem to free the coin in my case.

Be careful and take your time.

I used a wire hanger. It was almost effortless.
