1g K&N Filter Problem! Help

[90GSXDan]

Hello,

I have searched for this and couldnt find an answer.
My problem is that I dont have the top to my stock aircan. So all I have is the filter and the aircan that holds in the filter with the clips.
Here is my problem. When I try to clip it down, it doesnt fully grab with all 3 clips. Only 1 grabs tight.
I have tried it with the foam under it, and without the foam. My assumption is that it isnt the right filter. Its what came with the car.
I have a stock nonturbo top aircan here, Should i hack it so it could hold? Like just the bottom where it grabs originally?
Im also in the process of buying a new K&N filter. Please Help!

Thanks
Dan

For a quick fix:

Take some washers, and kinda cut them in half, so they follow the curvature of the filter.
I would say probably use 2 per clip. Put them on the filter lip, and try to clamp it down.
Hopefully that will work for you.
