So, I installed a cabin air filter and there were two things that stuck out to me:
#1 - There was a bead of silicone at the bottom of the windshield that was half stuck/half dangling needed to be removed and reapplied to eliminate water from leaking onto the filter. I did that early this morning and I'm going to let it sit for the full 24 before doing anything else.
and....
#2 - There are two clips that need to be replaced that I can't seem to find anywhere. I've uploaded a picture of the clips. From the looks of it, the tops of the plunger part of the clips broke off when I removed the panel.
The objective here is to keep water from leaking onto the filter, which naturally would leak into the interior.
I'm sorta having some regrets about installing the filter, but what's done is done. If I can find any clips that work as a replacement, I'd feel a whole lot better.
Are these clips (or at least the plunger) available anywhere? I've checked Dorman and came up short, but I'll be checking Dorman again. Any alternatives would be great as well.
