  • Rust under ashtray

    Hey guys, do any of you have rust under your ashtray? The only thing broken on my car is the ashtray "lid", and the actual tray is missing so I noticed this. I have no rust on the tracks for my seats and no rust behind the pedals or in the engine bay. What do you guys think of this? It's an 02 camaro with 50,000 miles on it and in very good shape except for this, and the passenger window motor being a half second slower to close than the drivers. My t-tops do not leak at all either. What could have caused this? Anyone have a picture of whats under there ash tray? The last picture is behind my pedals which looks very clean and obviously not rusty.

        I was just concerned about maybe the car I bought had been left outside with the tops off when it rained. I guess thats not the case? Where could I purchase a stupid ashtray and cover? I see em on ebay but they want like 30 bucks for them.

          I think everyone's ashtray lid is broken. I don't use mine so have never fixed it

            I don't use mine either, but my subs rattle the broken piece which is annoying. I would remove it, but a broken piece of plastic looks better than that rusty crap underneath.

              My ashtray and lid are in tact, but just like your there is rust under it. It is just an unfinished piece of metal with surface rust on it.
