Default Inlet duct mesh screen loose

The mesh screen on the inlet duct keeps coming loose. What's the best way to make sure it stays in place?

im guessing you are talking about the the screen between the two engine cover fans? there should be a rubber accordion surround on top of the screen that keeps the screen in place and directs air in from the outside of hatch.

That's the one...I'll check again, it seems the boot on my car isn't all the way in there.

That thing has some male fittings underneath it that slide into female grommets. I suspect they are not properly aligned and inserted. It has to come off for an oil change so whoever changed your oil last probably failed to put it back together properly. Very easy adjustment to make.
