The bottom of the SAAB air filter is even with the bottom of the colored part of the right hand bumper. The cover is held in by 4 screws and there is no gasket to prevent water being sucked in. Splashing not a problem. Any immersion in water will surely draw water in and do serious damage. I have changed the filter several times. This week while changing it at the Air Force Base Auto Hobby Shop, several of the techs and others there wondered at the sanity of placing the filter in that location. With the Aero being lowered there seems to be a greater chance of having a problem occur. Forewarned is forearmed!
