Default Remove the shift plate

by pulling up from the e-brake side. Once you have it out grab the ashtray from the bottom and pull it out. That should work, good luck.

Default Agreed be careful if you remove the cover two small tabs on the bottom have lips

that can break off and the cover will not stay on again.
