Replacement ashtray panel
I've fitted the replacement ashtray panel and bought two new lighter sockets but they won't go fully in due to a panel behind. .
Am I doing something wrong ?

Replacement ashtray panel.
Well, after a bit of doctoring the panel fits but after putting the car back together the rubber mat seems short on the drivers side as there is a gap. Is this how it's meant to be after fitting the replacement panel ?

Can I ask, where did you get that panel? It looks a good option as my ashtray is stuck open all the time.

The part number is FBO500630WBQ and I think I got it from advanced factors.
But it doesn't come with the power sockets and I had to do a bit of careful dremmeling behind it as the holes don't seem to line up and there's plastic behind fouling the power sockets going in.
Here's some photos to help.

Thanks, I might look into getting one of those. I came across pic on the www that shows the same gap as yours I don't know if it's a design fault or is there a different lower tray for that panel.

fitted the centre panel
haven't got any gaps , took my time to ensure everything lined up ok
fitted an extension socket for now , so now got 4 x usbs and 2 x 12 v outlets
will get a smaller extension unit so it's fits better and neater
did have to slightly trim the back , so it sat nice and flush with the other trim
