Can’t get air filter cover off? I feel STUPID

[BlackDTeggy]

Hey guys, went to change the air filter, released the 2 silver clips, pulled up a little; and tried to pull to the left to free those clips on the right of the box. I can’t for the life of me slide the cover out. Even using a flathead to try and pry away from those right clips. Don’t want to break anything, why is this being so difficult for me? Putting all my weight basically to the left as I’m lifting up.

I see people just sliding it right off, I’ve tried sliding pulling up and over, and also tried sliding to the left without lifting. The tabs aren’t at the right angle I guess to slide out easily.

unfortunately not! I’m in FL, I def see the concept and what needs to happen. I just can’t for the life of me get those 2 right clips free by sliding to the left. I’ll have to hit it with my purse tomorrow.

Haha I ended up having to just take off the tube part and then the tabs slid right out. Not sure why I had so much trouble lol wasn’t super dirty, but also wasn’t an oem filter in there.

My apologies, I thought this was for a DE5.

Yeah I thought it was De5 too... For reference, I just pop the 2 clips and pull up on it with some muscle then just pull out the filter. Takes 4 seconds on the De5

I knew it wasn’t a de5 right away. Bitch looks like the de5 tho but on the left U can see the inlet and right away it looks like the 1.5 si inlet

No worries bro I appreciate you, and I ended up just disconnecting tube into manifold and it slid right out. I think I was struggling with the angle it goes into the tabs, and really needs to be pulled up and left

I was focused on just pushing left when it’s really like pulling up and left
