Mine lines up just like yours on the three tabs (slight gap), yet there appears not to be any adjustment (it's designed to line up as such). What are your thoughts? I saw other folks post pics with theirs lined up flush.

Mine is that same way. It seems to prevent the lid from mounting up flush (like the pictures). Does yours also have a slight gap when installed?Also notice a tab was missing in the middle where the top wedges down from. Doesn't look like it was broken, just left off. Anybody else's this way?

Mine looked the same way. Took a table knife and put it under edge and lifted it slightly. Pulled cowl towards front and it slid right in flush. Seems to be a warping issue with front section.

Tried that too (but with plastic trim tools) however, the middle tab on my kit seems to be intentionally missing. Its as if it was redesigned this way for some reason.

Very flush! Did you have three tabs in the middle or was the middle one missing?

Perhaps i need to work it over the lip a bit. Did you have to play with it some to get it flush?

Wow, is your truck and car really that close or is it a angle illusion?

I unhooked the three tabs by lifting up the rear lid. Then, standing in front of the truck’s grille, I pulled the top cover toward myself and used a plastic trim tool to pry the top cover over the lip. Took some elbow grease but finally got it right.

Awesome thanks I’ll try that when I get home from work.
You remove the cover by pulling up on the rear and then slide the whole cover back towards the windshield. The tabs will come right out. When re-installing, put the cover on close to the windshield and slide forward insuring the tabs slide under the cowl. Then push down on the rear of the cover to secure. You shouldn't need any pry tools.

I will wash mine after the spring pollen season has ended.
I will use the same procedures that I use on my wife's Jeep Cherokee which has an aFe Pro Dry S filter.
