Sealing raised air intake

[chrsbe]

Did you realize, our raised air intake sucks in a lot of dust where it enters the fender. I could drastically reduce dust in the filter with taping the outer seam. The sealing there begs for improvement. Has someone done it already? Thinking of applying sikaflex but i am afraid the right fender has to be taken off to do it properly. How can i take off the fender?

With all of the aftermarket products rolling out, I’m a bit surprised not to have seen a sealed system yet…

Definitely an opportunity for the aftermarket business. I can't wait so i'll try to fix it myself.

I found this issue last week after having an annoying "knocking sound"... The raised are intake has become separated from the body. There is effectively no sealing from the exterior. The failure occurred from highway driving. There has not been any contact, hit or impact with the air intake.

I had the same situation after brushing some bushes. One of the snap-in plastic hooks was broken. My dealer fixed it.

Everything snorkel I’ve seen so far is round pipe bogan stuff properly designed to live on a Ford Ranger.

I don’t have an outback trip planned until later next year so ‘m hoping something sensible comes out before then.

I had to look up as well 'bogan' as 'chav'

I am not happy with some of the Ineos Grenadier, sales people telling me there is no snorkel option! I live in NH, not Africa, or Australia! We don’t need a raised air intake! We do need an honest, real snorkel!!
Does anyone know where to get a real SNORKEL for the Grenadier?

Just adding a true sealed snorkel for engine intake is only part of the problem though, there are so many other aspects of modern vehicles that can't survive under water for any length of time

sucking in water still isn't good' regardless
