Can anyone link me to a DIY on how to fix this thing circled. It won't close, I am not sure what it is called, so, I am having a hard time finding it on the forums. I have an LCI. I don't know if the pre-lci and lci are different in the inside.

Center console rear ashtray? Maybe this could help? Looks like you'd have to remove the whole piece but I'm guessing.

You have to remove that whole rear section that includes it and the vents. There are 3 sets of tabs on both sides if I remember correctly. Easiest to use a wide spade upholestery tool and go from the seats side toward the rear.

PS... this will give you an idea from looking at pictures 6 through 9.

Yeah. You just need one small plastic pry tool.
