Hi Scotty,

I was replacing the engine air filter on my 2010 Toyota Camry. Unfortunately the piece where one of the bolt screws into broke, so now the air filter box is only held down with one bolt. Everything is tight, is it necessary to replace that one piece so both bolts can be screwed in? Am I in any danger for the time being? It looks ok for now, but I'd appreciate your opinion. Thank you!

I'd still replace the needed piece as the plastic airbox can warp and then start leaking, but you have time to get it sorted out...
