The air filter compartment lid is off center and it is so crowded I cannot push it over. How is the hinges suppose to line up? Does the top part go under? Can someone provide me with a picture, and what can I move to make room to budge it? And it has never been truer! lol

Welcome to 2CarPros.

I'm not sure what size engine you have, so it will change the design. However, the air box lid hinges. Usually, the hinge will slide under the box. Also, if you are having trouble, remove the filter and then install the lid so you can see how it goes. Once determined, then you can remove it and install the filter.

Also, if you can take a pictiure and upload it for me to see exactly what you are dealing with, it will help.

Take care,
Joe
