'97 stubborn ashtray.

Hey folks.

Trying to wire up a CD changer and I can't seem to get the ashtray out. The left-hand screw comes out but it seems stuck on something on the right side.
Any ideas?

TIA!

Open the ash tray before you take it out. Then pull straight out, there is a metal clip on the right side.

Couldn't have put it better. It will come out despite seeming to be stuck

Yea, that did the trick. Looks like it "had" two clips and one was missing.
