Stock sliding coupler between intake and air filter box
Hi all,
Still don't have my manuals yet and have noticed there is a rectangular sliding plastic coupler between the air intake and the filter box. 2K 5 speed bone stock. It somehow slid back to where the 2 were no longer connected. I just slid it up/over the flange and wonder what kind of clamp is missing? None exists. I have a thin bead of RTV in place for now. Car's running OK, just happened to notice when checking fluids, etc. Airflow should certainly improve now

i noticed this once on my 2K. i slid it back into place and it seemed to be a friction fit until i pushed it from both the bottom and the top. that's when it "clicked" into place. you have to push it evenly from all sides for it to latch on properly.
