Default Lid pushpins...

Just got my new SLP lip and filter today, gonna install it tomorrow . One thing i noticed on my stock lid, is that the pushpin on the left is missing. Do i need to get another to install new lid? Does it hurt it if i dont have that pin? where can i get this Pin?
Thanks
Chris

Dealer has them. I bet you it got lost because of the SLP lid. They never fit 100% right.

Same thing here. I felt like screwing a fastener through the lid tabs where it locks into the back of the lid retainer on the car. I bet it would fix it but it isn't annoying enough for me to take action.

I have an SLP lid and you don't need the pushpins to install the lid. Only uses the clamps on the front of the lid to hold it down after you slide the tabs in on the back

The tabs in the back do not engage themselves as well as the factory unit.
