Ash tray

[1969CoronetR/T]

My daughter pulled my ash tray out of the dash on my 1969 Coronet with a 150 square speedometer. I cannot get it back in. What am I missing?
Thanks
Mark

That it needs to go to the left about 3/4" to clear the cig lighter boss...

See the rib on the bottom of the tray? It hooks over the rod in the frame.

Something so simple is perplexing me.

The ash tray rides over the rod. The v in the ash tray goes on top of the rod. Then the spring is held down until you lock into position.

Got it. Thanks
