Issue while trying to de-snorkel

[Skrapmot]

Ditto on the fragile tabs, especially on a 15 year old car, one of mine did just that.
It's freaked me out how dirty it was , I even found 2 cigarette butts in the old snorkel which explains that weird smell I was getting in the cabin. I hope my car didn't get a nicotine addiction.
Make you realize the importance in checking the air filter often, as that intake is low and picks up a lot of stuff that kicked up.

I "stitched" mine back together with a low heat soldering iron. Not ideal, but the part is not seen and has held for 6 months just fine. The key is in after melting it back together, applying heat and gradually cooling the plastic so it will remain softer and flexible instead of brittle

I'm not sure of the part #...sorry

I believe people call that the cup. It's on very early models, possibly because they were afraid water or debris would get in the snorkle. The design was changed very early on.

Sorry I don't have any more info on removal. What is it bonded to? You remove the snorkle by moving the end closest to you all the way to the right and left and it pops out. Perhaps once it pops the cup will be loose.
