Lid install question...
I did a search and couldnt find much.. I ordered an SLP lid from a member here but I went to install and ran into a few probs... One is what the hell is that snorkel on the right side ? and 2 how do I remove that old plug thing with the sensor from my old box just tug on it ?
Thanks
Thanks

You bought a lid for a '00+ car. That hole on the right side is for an air tube that was on the '00+ cars. You could try and patch it off I guess. As far as that sensor goes, try heating it up with a hair dryer. As soon as you get the rubber piece that it sits it warm it will slip out easier. As far as installing it in the new lid I've always had better luck seperating the rubber piece from the sensor itself and slipping the rubber piece into the new lid, then slipping the sensor into the rubber. They seperate without a problem. Good luck.
