Hey guys i seemed to have lost the clips that hold the air filter pannel in place. The grooves that they clip into have snapped so they must have fallen off when i was driving!!

Does anyone know where i can get another set of clips from and how much they roughly cost???????


ALSO!!!!
Because the grooves that the clips sit in are snapped off, does that mean i have to replace that whole filter box or is there something else that can be done!!!


ANYONES HELP WOULD BE GREAT!!!!
P.S This is kind of urgent as i drive my car a lot each day and the air filtering system is only filtering half the air intake. The air filter pannel is just sitting in place but not clipped in firmly


:D:D HELP ME PLEASE!!! :D:D:D

hey, you are better off going to a wreckers and buying another airbox. willl be a real pain to fix if the clips are broken.

HI, I actually had exactly the same thing happen on my TJ, damn things just snapped of, fortunately for me metal clips still have just enough plastic to clamp on to (it didn’t snap of completely). Your best go is wreckers, fortunately all magnas have the same air intake system, so you will have no problems in fitting filter box from model 97onwards., last time ive been to wreckers there were plenty there with good/undamaged clamps & filter boxes, I just didn’t bother to get it because my one is still holding together (at least for the time being).

Cheers

If you still had the clips you can easily modify the snapped plastic with a stanley knife, but since you're going wreckers, just get the whole front section of the airbox.
