CAI Intake Installation Help

I'm currently trying to install a CAI Inc. Intake on my SS and it's all installed according to the directions, but I can't get the lid positioned to lock the fasteners on.

I know part of it should sit inside the groove but the lid still sits 0.5 cm too far up to fasten the two top fasteners, not sure if anyone else had this problem, maybe I did something wrong during installation, but not sure.

Loosen the the nuts/bolts that hold the air box in place, then secure the lid with everything loose and everything should kind of fall into place. Once you have done that, carefully remove the lid without moving things around too much and re-tighten down the box.

Best regards,

Tyler

They can be a REAL BITCH fitting it on the first time.

Try Tyler's suggestion.
