Lid problems?
 
I just got my whisper lid from tbyrnemotorsports and after putting it on, I can't get the clasps to stay shut. Is that a common problem or is it just me...maybe I didn't get it on right..??

clasps
 
are you sure the little flaps on the back of your lid are tucked in the slots. it wont clasp right if they arent.

:cool: Sometimes it depends on the bellows you have. It might be putting too much preasure on the lid and you have to trim it a bit:eek:

They were in there, I just had to push a little harder to get them in even more. Seemed to work. Thanks. :)

Ok, I'm still having problems with keeping the clasps shut. :mad: Can you explain how to trim the bellows. I want to make sure I do it right. :)

:cool: Jilly just trim the section at the throttle body end. If its the slp bellows its only silicon and a sharp razor blade will work fine. It will relieve the pressure at the back of the lid allowing it to slip in a little easier. I trimmed off almost 3/8ths to a half inch on mine. Still is a tight fit but much easier to remove to inspect the filter :eek:

Ok, well, I'll try it this weekend and see what happens. :)
