okay, so i posted last week about my DV making a chirping sound... well, my air intake has been sounding like darth vadar.

i drove to Austin this weekend and she ran well. about 30minutes ago i decided to pop the hood to see if everything was in place and sure enough, the airbox screw holes (the 2) were stripped. one screw was missing and the other one wouldn't screen in, it just kept spinning.

does anyone know of a good fix for this?


thanks

 

retap it or drill it and add some nuts.

 

I just used longer sheet metal screws. Worked fine.
