slp air lid problem
last fall i put a slp smooth bellows and slp air lid on and i cant keep the left buckle to stay snapped down. is this common with these lids or do i have the angle of the bellows between the maf and tb a little off? does this buckle not staying down affect anything because it still seems like it stays down pretty tight. thanks in advance

Should be formed to the lower air box by now. Make sure the lid is pushed back all the way into the tabs, and the front of the lid is inside the lower lip of the air box. Clamp should stay secured.

lid is all the way back into bellows and tabs wont go back any farther. almost like its a bad angle or something. right buckle snaps fine but left doesnt want to cooperate. lid actually is perfectly even with box. hmmmmm

I had the same issue when I first installed my Whisper lid with one clamp not staying shut - see the Whisper install at www.installuniversity.com might find the answer there.

It is the MAF. Because of the change of the MAF's position with the combonation of a lid and bellow, the maf is being smashed into the plastic radiator cover. My lid was damn near impossible to get back into place and latched. The bellow and lid were obviously not developed in conjunction. You can solve it however you want, but I took a heat gun and made a little dip in the plastic right where the MAF was hitting. That way you do not have to cut a big chunk out of the radiator cover.

thanks for all the replys. i need to check position of my lid first because i dont think it sits down in box like pics. It is even with box.

Just trim about a 1/2 inch of the bellow of of the LID side and it should push all the way back and fit snug, and your left hook will stay snapped.

I had the fit problem with my SLP when first installed. It took me a while to figure it out... just like they said... lip on the inside.
If you're have a fit problem, I'd recommend removing the bellows and filter and see how the lid fits.
