Smile changing the 07 Volvo S60 air filter

Hi,

I've had Nissans, Toyota, and Honda. And I"ve always changed the air filter myself.

But man the S60's air filter cover is difficult to put back on. any suggestions?

I noticed that there are 3 prongs on the aft section of the cover and three clips in front. Its the prongs that are giving me problems. Looks like the prongs are an interface fit????

Thanks!

Here is a picture. I know its stupid. But man, I can't get all three prongs in on the aft side of the air filter cover.

I would drive it over to the dealer, but I don't want to have to pay for them to reset the engine light.

So any suggestions. Its not a very good design.

Here's a picture that I took. Thanks I really really appreciate any hints.

well I called the dealership. They told me that I just have to push down on it really hard.

But man, I can't believe that Volvo would design something like this. Most cars use clips.

I'm afraid if I push down on it too hard, I may break something.

Any hints?
