You know how the air ducts have those tips that protrude out and go inside holes inside the gas tank.

When mine go in the holes, it won't stay in. I'm guessing there's supposed to be a backing or something at the other end of the hole. Or am I wrong? All I know is, both my left and right air ducts come loose when I'm on the freeway but they're still being held by the screw all the way at the front/top part of the cover.

Anyone know of any cheap sites to buy these things?

Also, what's the proper term for it if I were to ask around shops in my local area?

 

theres another hole for a fastener near the rear. part number 25 on the "upper cowl" schematic

In my experience it doesn't help if you just push on the outside of the air duct cover, that plastic tip won't actually snap to the other side of the rubber thing that it's supposed to go through. Instead, you need to slide your hand under the cover and push on the actual plastic tip and force it through the rubber thing. Hope this helps!
