Default Another BBK CAI issue

Hey,
On the way home from trip yesterday I noticed the rubber seal around the metal plate around my air filter on my BBK CAI has started falling off. It is just about 6 months old. Is anyone else having any issues with this? If so, any corrective action to take to fix it?

Thanks

Be sure to put the fitting through the heat shield then put the clamp on the fitting on the left side of the head shield. I was having the same problem until I did that.

Oh I must have said it wrong I meant the rubber seal around the top of the metal filter housing here is a picture of the CAI and the housing is to the right. this picture was before the seal around the top started falling off.

Oh! Mine was a pain to put on. Where there corner was I put a slit on the inside of the rubber seal to allow it to stay on that corner properly.
