1961 ashtray

[AngryPirate]

I'm embarrassed to ask this question but I would rather not force it. Is there a trick to getting this thing into the dash hole?

Perhaps my ashtray has a part that is bent an I don't know it. The thing will not go in.

I was missing mine and I got a used one, cleaned it up and painted it. I'm trying to slide it back in and it just won't go.

Man, I feel dumb. :-/

If no tricks, does anyone have a few different profiles of their ashtray so I can compare?

Thanks,
Scott
