Hi fellows, I think i might have did something bad!

I was trying to remove the wood console panel. I was looking at the instructions posted, and it mentioned that the ashtray was supposed to come out. I first removed the screw to get the wood panel off. Then I tried to remove the actual pivoting ashtray. I pulled until i heard a click sound, it popped out half way... I pushed it back in, and now it doesn't open by itself anymore... now I have to explicitly pull the ashtray open.. did I break the spring hinge?

W140Gill, you mentioned the ashtray needs to come out to access the Torx bolts behind. how do I get the ashtray out?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the tip... I did fix the ashtray... after i removed the woodpanel, i unscrewed the ashtray from the back of the wood. There is a spring in the ashtray that just needs to be reset. The spring has a hook on one end, which is circled in red in the photo. The Green arrow indicates the direction i inserted a small screwdriver to push the spring back onto the catch...
