If the two clips are not locking you might have it on wrong. Loosen the lid and move it back and forth until you feel it kinda lock in place. Then lock the clips down.

theres really no room to adjust it back and forth. compared to the stock lid is much more sharp and narrow as far as the lip goes. i dont want to risk breaking the clips b/c its my DD and i want the bloody thing to be secure. looks like its time to be creative

I got mine about 2 months ago and had no issues with it. Just take it off and try again.

Some lids are different, but SLPs lip goes behind the base lip. I know you said you got it, but just in case it helps.

finally got it. man for a simple mod it took me more effort to put that thing on then my exhaust lol. i had to drill about 5 holes in the stock lid to get the air temp sensor out. as for the clips i carved 2 innings on each side and shaved off some plastic in the front but now its a perfect fit
