    First thought: I don't know, I just call Jose and tell him to fix it.

    Second thought: Forget produce, if Trump gets rid of all the illegals, my car repair and new tire bills will be through the roof

      You got some really good feedback on this, but hitting the junk yard like you said, I think would do it.
      I have a couple in my area. Pay like..$1 to go in and pull your own parts.
      I'd think you'd have to find something compatible somewhere in there...., right ?
      (I know it's a pain sometimes to go searching in the junk yard)

        The Parts Dept at a dealership might be able to help.

        Unless it's a motor they no longer service, they should be able to identify every part on it.

            So a simple solution would be to drill a couple of small holes through the plastic and use a couple of wood screws to secure the cover. You make the top hole a little larger so that the screws cut grooves only at the bottom. Problem solved.
            Ahh I thought of this but instead of using screws maybe some good ole tie wraps can do the trick.

            Good advice

            Personally I would have probably grabbed for the zip ties about now, same concept, tighten as needed in the holes.
            Tried to Green K him also, need to spread, best advice indeed.

            Exactly what I might do if I can't find them.

            That also is another good option

            Will be very hard to find parts for a 2001 Chevy Impala but you never kow.

            If I don't find them I might as well do what jaded, billeau2, CauliflowerEars and KING MEAT said.

              Ahh the new generation... In my day it was "Duct Tape" that fixed everything.

                  just search air filter clips for your car.
