Restore the factory seal of your Ford air cleaner assembly with the Genuine Ford XC3Z-9697-AA Air Filter Restriction Indicator Grommet. This OEM rubber grommet securely mounts the air filter restriction indicator (Filter Minder®) into the air cleaner housing while providing an airtight seal that prevents unfiltered air from bypassing the air filter.
Over time, the original rubber grommet can become brittle, cracked, or loose from years of engine heat and exposure to the elements. Replacing it helps maintain proper air filtration, ensures accurate restriction indicator operation, and keeps your intake system sealed as Ford intended.
