General Air filter to throttle body - rubber seal

I took out the pin on the body, cleaned, inspected, and regreased. Helps, but still pops.
Didn't know you can tighten them. I assumed the hole in the strap for the pin is worn, you can see the strap jump each time there is a crack/pop.
Would tightening help? Take it I need to take the door card off for that?
 
sometimes tightening up clears the click but its usually wear in the clevis rivet
i had a right job finding a grommit last time i needed one but then thankfully found one in stock so best of luck
 
I found the part number in the EPER link above after typing in my VIN from the slam plate.

It's just called "Sealing gasket", part number 46528828 (at least for my type of car).

Cost £5.60 ex VAT from Fiat, not one they have in stock, but they can order it in next day.

I've seen it called "Air filter grommet" elsewhere.

Hope this helps someone else.

Also, thanks for the EPER, it's absolutely spot on for this job!:)
