LOL My father-in-law, a former smoker, flipped open the rear door ashtray yesterday and threatened to light up.

Yep... one of the only things the Lincolns have going for them. I am used to having my phone in the door handle but in my beloved LS it goes down down down. But I must admit, our 2010 Navigator is quiet like my LS.

You're kidding right? I have not sat in a 2010 Navigator yet, but if it is scientifically as quiet as an LS430, I'd be amazed and it would not be short of a miracle....

Default New question

Why does the wood trim piece on the ashtray lid have to be changed? I ask because the wood trim mine has is uncommon so it wouldn't be a difference in shading, it 2oulr be an entirely different color

The console box comes with a lid. If you don't think the pattern or color matches, you can remove it and install the lid from the cigarette box you have just removed.

Perfect, I just found out the fuse was blown so I bought a several of each amp and go through the fuse boxes...maybe some stuff like the hazard lights will start working again. I'm about to begin tackling problems now that I have the motors.

Hello, I'd like to know how I can go about finding one of these "Console Boxes" as Sewell Parts no longer sells online?

Buy this kit Install Bay 4 Pieces Scraper Kit

I watched a guy work on Lexus interior with this kit is awesome. Keeps you form breaking the plastic clips below the surface. make sure you know where the clips are below he surface so you do not break them
