Clever way to keep Lid tight? This has been an ongoing problem with my 98 z28, i have an slp airlid w/k&n filter and smooth bellows.. Almost every time i get from point a to point b the lid has worked itself loose. The clips on the front pop right off. Anyone find a good trick to keep this sucker in place ? TIA
I had that problem before but I went to Home Deot and bought some Zip tight!They look like small plastic belts located at the electrical section. Put then on the Lid clips, tie them down and ur problem solved!Enjoy!

This might sound stupid but when I did a lid I didnt put the front " tab" into the"slot " , I had the tab infront of it overhanging and I couldnt get the clips to stay on for my life . Wouldnt hurt to check I think Im the only idiot who could do that though lol

I'm willing to bet that is the problem... Mine kept doing the same thing and then I realized WTF the deal was and re-adjusted everything and put it on correctly and its been fine ever since!

I did the same thing, too.
same here i had the front lip of the lid in front of the airbox instead of behind the airbox lip the clips would never stay clipped. works fine now just need to replace the poorly fitting filter
