Screws on my 2002 Civic air box stripped out.
 

I just got a 2002 used Civic and was checking the air filter. Looks like
about three of the plastic screw holders are stripped out on the top air
box. Is this a common problem with Civic's? Mine was a used certified Civic
from a Honda dealer so should have been only worked on by Honda workers so
is it possible that Honda would replace this broken part. Should I just get
one of the after market type cold air intake systems. Thanks for any help.

no its not a problem with civics, if you get the right size screw driver
they shouldnt strip out, if your going for performance or plan on doing some
performance upgrades then get a cold air intake.
