Panel Filter problems

Hi,

I have just fitted a new K&N panel filter over the weekend, and I found that the air filter box had 2 clips broke. It is held in place with just the 2 screws. Is this safe to drive like this, any suggestions to how to mend it.

Any help would be apreciated

Many thanks,

same thing happened to me. As for now I stuck a little duct tape on the side with the broken clips. I figure I'm going to try to get a new lid.

If these are the clips that hold the two halves together then no, it is not safe to leave open as something could get sucked it.

You could do as above and tape it until you can buy a new box but make sure it is sealed tight.
