Are you running the stock MAF? I'm using a Z06 85mm MAF and I have to do the same thing. The lid and MAF are the same exact size both inner and outer. I have used an SLP, and both an MTI black and clear lid. Same thing on all of these. I actually like the fact that it is the exact same size as the most airflow possible.

Except now your lid isnt sealing on your filter right, and you are probably getting some unfiltered air sucked in. 99% of the time that people's clips pop off its because they dont have the front lip of the airlid tucked inside the lower airbox like it is supossed to be.

Yeah, its the stock MAF. What I did was file down the lip of the MAF and acutally heat up the lid a little to get it flexible enough to push in the MAF. I got it done this weekend. Ran it hard a bit to see if anything would pop out and it didnt. Problem solved.
