Sounds like your lid might not be re-installed straight.

Good luck! Post up pics when you are in the process. Maybe you should do a write-up?

Don't cut that middle section out. The instructions specifially tell you not to cut it. I left mine in, it seems like it's needed to support the filter.

Mine is cut exactly like the one in that pic, and I have no fitment problems.

there is no need for that center plastic....besides blocking air...cut it out the filter is supported on the whole outer edge...
