Default Ashtray replacement or repair, 91 Ford Escort

Ashtray for 91 Ford Escort Wagon

I inadvertently dropped the ashtray and broke the "rails" that allow it to
glide in and out of the slot on the dash. I have gone to a lot of the used
parts websites, but ashtrays aren't a big item there and I haven't been able
to locate a replacement so far.

Does anyone have any idea if there are any specialty places that might sell
them? I am in Los Angeles, CA. Or, I wonder if I can use super glue to
repair the rails and replace the ashtray. Do you think this would be safe
to do?

Thanks for any advice. -- Judy

I was trying to avoid that because they are quite a distance from my home.
I was hoping some company might have it inventoried and available for
ordering.

Thanks. -- Judy

I don't smoke, but I would prefer to have the ashtray. The 1 in my truck is
broke the same way.

If you have the bits you can reassemble with cyanoacrylate glue. (this
is the instant glue in itty bitty tubes)

use only one or two drops and read the instructions. Different brands
have different clamp times.
