you are missing the metal piece with the rubber seal. Hold on a second, I'll go take a pic

Looks like the rubber black seal strip is missing

Here you go….hopefully it's clear in the pic for you

How in the world are you missing the strip? Oh, looks like you had some bodywork done.

Looks normal to me, you're just missing the rubber seal that's all.

By the way....noticed your headlamps have gone cloudy pretty quick....

I loled

I think we got trolled. Damn.

More air flow. Hollaaa

That's where the intercooler goes. Duh!

Alright guys thanks! for your help i put the rubberseal on i forgot that it suppose to go there!

Dufus.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread: my rubber seal has gone wonky so I'm replacing it. I found the seal itself (57735CA000) but cannot for the life of me identify the tiny grommets / clips that hold it in place, 13 in all.

I know it's NOT W140007 because that's a 2-piece plastic rivet that holds the metal bar underneath. Any ideas?

Just use the right tool to remove them. It looks like a flathead screwdriver but with a "V" cut out so you can pop them out. They are reusable. If you break a few no worries. Any auto parts store should have some that will do the trick.
