| I have a 2009 RZR s Okay today I removed my air bix lid and mud and water came out. Not a lot but it scared me. The filter was dry and it had some mud splatter on it. I have noticed that every time I get into deep mud holes (Never deeper than the floor board) that I get some but not this amount. Has anyone else seen this problem and how did you fix it. The design of that lid is half ass at best. | |

| the box lid has a tab on top that must fit in a slot, plus you need to put grease around the inside edge of the lid. Ive had mine under water and never had a drop in side. The lid has a rubber seal in the lip, you should check, my guess, You either didn't have the lid properly seated or you have a bad lid. as a safety measure outerware sells a prefilter for the new bigger air filter that is water resistant. | |

| I will check it again but I recently replaced the filter and I replaced the oring. I noticed that the oring does not have much of a groove where the slot is located. Every where else it sets deep in the cap. Is your that way? | |

| getting the tab locked in tight and the clips on should seal it tight, are you locking the tab in its slot? | |

| Gunny I think you hit the nail on the head. I took it off and reinstalled it being careful to get the tab aligned and it felt tighter when in put the clamps on. I think that may have been it.
Thanks | |
