SLP air lid not sealing properly I have had a SLP lid on my 2002 Camaro for a while now and one problem is that the rear of the lid does not sit completely down, the latches in the front are fine and the 2 tabs on the back go in but do not sit completely down so there is a little gap I can push it down and it will seal but when I let up the gap returns I wanted to know if anyone has came across this problem and if so the best way to fix it.

Almost everyone comes across that problem. Go to a hardware store and get a roll of closed cell foam that you use as weather stripping for your house door. Choose the size that will squish in the gap and then take the lid off and peel the back and stick it to the underside of the lid. I've used it on multiple lids for many years

When buying a used '98-02 F-body, I would look for this. If the car has an aftermarket lid, who knows how long it's been pulling in unfiltered air from the back section of the lid.
