There's supposed to be a friction gear in the ashtray recess. You might have broken a tooth or it fell out. Lift out the ashtray and you will see a toothed cam on the front end. That cam is supposed to mate with a gear in the ashtray recess.

You can't really see the gear in this photo, but that's where it is.

Thanks! That friction gear is missing in my car. Now the question is how to get that part. Any ideas? Can one just buy that gear or do you have to buy the larger housing that the ashtray sits in.
