Storage bin under stereo

Anyone ever replace one? I was hoping to just pop it out...

Mine slides out with little effort. Although I don't remember if it was that easy before swapping the HU a gazillion years ago. If you have HU keys, sliding the HU forward should make quick work of it. Pulling the ashtray won't help. I hope that helps.

Agreed, mine comes out reasonably easy - straight pull toward you

Seems mine is the same, actually i believe its the heat when i leave her outside along w/the volume buttons. I know it's a long shot, but has anyone replaced the rubber volume knob.
Thank you in advance.

I replaced my volume knob. The knob, the button, the Atari pong type display, the 1960’s era cassette, and the dialer for the analogue phone that's no longer supported . . . . . . . all of it was replaced with a new head unit.

And just so I'm not completely jacking the thread (although I know I am, but the 208 forum needs all the traffic it can get), the cubby can be replaced by a HU too. Just go double DIN. Now's a good time for someone to start an Android double DIN thread. And offer to sell the $60 cubby that you don't use for half-price.
