Beautiful wild flowers and mountain views.! The final mile was pretty intense 😌

Hi, guys

I bought new capture clip v3 and when i opened it up and tried it, it does not firmly snapped.

Is this normal..?? Please check the video and her sounds when i move it around after clip

Big Pine Lake 2
9,850 ft • 13.8 miles • 3,000 ft gain

Did a lot of extra miles filming this landscape.

First time back at this elevation in a while.
It felt harder than I remembered.

No snow up to Lake #2,
and plenty of water sources along the trail.

Hi, again

I am really a noob about car and trying to save some money to replace engine filter myself and i am a bit nervous about this.

I replaced the engine air filter on my 2017 Toyota Corolla using a genuine Toyota OEM filter.

Something surprised me: the filter didn't seem to lock or snap firmly into a frame. It felt more like I aligned the shape correctly (1 square corner and 3 rounded corners), placed it in position, and then the air box cover compressed and held it in place when closed.

I made sure:

• The filter shape matched correctly (left bottom is square while other 3 corners are rounded)
• The air box cover closed normally
• Both metal clips latched properly
• The right side near the driver side/windshield area also seemed seated correctly

The filter appears sealed, but I expected a more obvious "perfect fit into a frame" feeling. And I see air filter at the corner (marked in red) is this normal.?

Is this normal on a 2017 Corolla, or could I have installed the engine air filter incorrectly?

Thank you so much for your time.

I was replacing the engine air filter on my 2017 Toyota Corolla.

While opening the air filter housing cover (marked as A in the photo), it seems the plastic wire loom/tube (marked as B) got caught against the edge and split open a little.

It looks like electrical wires run inside this loom. From what I can tell, the actual wires do not seem cut or exposed, but the outer plastic covering is now torn/split.

I attached close-up photos and a wider photo showing the location in the engine bay.

A few questions:

What exactly is this plastic loom protecting?
Does this split outer covering need to be replaced?
Can I just wrap it with electrical tape or protective tape and leave it alone?
Could this eventually cause electrical issues, sensor problems, or trigger a check engine light?

This happened during a simple engine air filter replacement, so I’m hoping it’s only cosmetic damage.

Thanks.
