What is an ash tray bumper?

An ash tray bumper is a small rubber or foam piece that is mounted to the inner wall of an automobile console. Its purpose is to act as a cushion, preventing items from shifting around in the console and potentially being damaged or scratched.

How do I determine if mine is faulty?

Inspect your ash tray bumper for any signs of wear and tear, such as cracking or tearing of the material. If the bumper is a foam piece, check to see if it has become compressed and lost its cushioning capabilities.

Can a faulty ash tray bumper cause damage?

Yes, if the ash tray bumper is damaged or compressed, it can no longer provide the cushioning necessary to protect items in the console. Therefore, any objects that are placed in the console may become damaged or scratched if the ash tray bumper is faulty.

How do I replace an ash tray bumper?

1. Remove the ash tray from the console.
2. Remove the old ash tray bumper from the console.
3. Install the new ash tray bumper.
4. Re-mount the ash tray to the console.
