Even when no longer used for its original purpose, the dashboard ashtray remains an important period feature of the Porsche 356 cabin and contributes to a complete, authentic-looking interior.
What Does the Ashtray Do?
Originally designed to provide a convenient receptacle for ash and cigarettes, the ashtray is integrated into the dashboard area and forms part of the original interior design.
Today, many owners primarily value the ashtray as an original-style interior feature. A correctly fitted ashtray helps maintain the complete appearance of the dashboard and can also provide a small storage compartment for lightweight items.
Why Do Porsche 356 Ashtrays Need Replacing?
After decades of use, original ashtrays and their mounting components can become worn or damaged.
Common problems include:
- Scratched or deteriorated finishes
- Corrosion
- Bent or damaged mounting components
- Loose or poor-fitting assemblies
- Damage caused by repeated use
- Missing ashtrays following previous interior modifications
- General age-related deterioration
An incomplete or damaged ashtray can be particularly noticeable in a carefully restored Porsche 356 interior.
When Should the Ashtray Be Replaced?
Replacement should be considered if:
- The original ashtray is missing
- The finish is heavily worn or damaged
- Corrosion is present
- The mounting plate is damaged
- The ashtray no longer fits securely
- The dashboard is being refurbished
- The vehicle is undergoing a full interior restoration
Replacing worn interior details can make a significant difference to the finished appearance of a classic Porsche.

OEMatch Dashboard Parts — Fit, Function, Confidence
OEMatch Dashboard Parts components are compatible replacements engineered to original-spec dimensions and tolerances — a practical option when genuine or OEM parts are unavailable. For Porsche models these parts restore dashboard structure, secure mounting points and control interfaces while preserving the factory aesthetics and ergonomics expected in the cabin.
Available Types- Vents and ducting assemblies
- Switch bezels, control panels and wiring mounts
- Instrument housings, brackets and retaining plates
- Trim panels, fasteners and retention clips
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original dashboard parts.
OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the dashboard parts and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM dashboard parts engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models.
OEMatch maintains a broad catalogue for Porsche applications, cataloguing over 4,000 individual part numbers alongside more than 8,700 OE cross-references. The range covers gaskets, suspension hardware, engine components and interior trim with the aim of keeping Porsche vehicles on the road across multiple model generations.
Benefits Include- Restores dashboard rigidity and correct mounting for instruments and controls
- Reduces rattles, gaps and loose trim for a quieter cabin
- Preserves compatibility with switches, vents and multimedia units
- UV exposure and heat causing fading, cracking or warping
- Material fatigue and vibration loosening clips or mounts
- Impact or accidental damage to bezels, vents or fascia panels
- Degradation of fasteners, seals and adhesive bonds over time
Many owners search for genuine or OEM Dashboard Parts; these are direct-fit alternatives designed to match the original form, fit and function. Replacing worn or broken dashboard parts restores secure mountings for instruments and controls, removes distracting noise and preserves the interior appearance that is important for driver comfort and vehicle value across Porsche 911, Boxster, Cayman, Panamera, Macan and Cayenne models.
Advantages- Components made to original-spec dimensions for consistent fitment
- Wide range covering classic and modern Porsche interiors
- Options that simplify restoration and repair without major modification
Installation should be carried out by a qualified technician following model-specific procedures and torque settings. Use calibrated tools and new fasteners where specified. If you plan a home repair, protect surrounding surfaces, check retainers and clip locations before removal, and verify electrical connectors and grounding paths on reassembly.
