I still have the impression that this older solution was stronger and certainly tighter.


Can any of you tell me how it is factory-assembled?
That looks just like the way the filter on my 2011 looks. If the pins in the cage are not lined up with the opening, the spring loaded holder won't fit. It is very solid. I make sure that I have a clean surface and then I try to rotate the filter and feel around it to make sure it is sealed against the air boot.
