[Vwdiesel] Ashtray

[Dave Cook]

Thanks Roger and Loren (who sent one PM)

Well, I figured out why I was so confused, I have a metal tab in the place described!  Unfortunately, it is broken off just above the slots that hold it in, so it is only able to catch the stop on the dash that keeps it from falling out completely.  

Anyone have one sitting around somewhere on the back 40?
