(4) Use a glue (epoxy resin?) to attached the snorkel to the airbox, but it means I'll never get them apart again.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I noticed that a couple of the plastic square-shaped "cut outs" on my airbox which are used to retain the three tabs for the "snorkel" air intake have snapped off. This means that the snorkel is only retained by a single tab. I'd appreciate if anyone who has come across this problem before could advise how they fixed it.
I think my options are:
(1) Duct tape to keep snorkel held to airbox (temp repair currently in place!), not particularly pretty or robust for the long-term
.
(2) Buy a new airbox, cost £165 (!)
(3) Buy a second-hand one, the risk is quite a few I have seen online also have the same problem with the cut-outs snapped off.
(4) Use a glue (epoxy resin?) to attached the snorkel to the airbox, but it means I'll never get them apart again. Not sure this would be a problem though
(5) Add a couple of self-tapping screws to retain the snorkel to airbox.
I would be grateful for any advice!
Ive never been quite sure why Porsche made it as a 2 piece item and not just a single one ..
Ive tryed just removeing that end section before but it never comes out and anyways its almost as quick just to remove the whole airbox .
But i digress .. as usual ..
It cant actually fall out as the boot lid rubber locks it in place .. ive seen the same as yours many times but have never fixed one so far .. usually better things for the customer to spend money on once im working on it lol
Glue .. duct tape ( black ) or a small screw will all work with a small screw just below the broken clip being the best solution i feel.
Thanks for all the replies. I used self-tapping screws in the end. Bought some glue but didn't use it, since the screws seem to hold it in place very well. Pic attached!
