I dont know how it works but mine was the same .... i took out the screw in the middle ( on mine ) and removed the ashtray and found one side had come out of its guide .... problem solved  :y

My passenger ashtrays won't stay shut. This happended since I had the door panels removed to have the window restrictor changed.
