Default Need help locating c clip off intake

I broke one of the gray c clips that hold one of the hoses on the driver side intake. The hose is on the front of the manifold. It's still a c but the tabs on the outside are broken. Is that something I should replace or just put it back in and dab on some silicone?

Any idea on a part number or replacement source?

Sounds like it is the evap line going to the intake. I hope the picture is there in the link.
Remove the broken lock and replace with a small zip tie.

Is this the hose with the c-clips? If it is GM part #12573362 and I do not think the clips are available separate. Mine was broke and I just put them back on till I could get the hose. It was less the $20.00.
Be sure and have your dealer check the Part number for fitment to your car.




Good luck with your repair

Thanks guys! I wasn't even sure what it was called. Yes it's what is pictured. I'll just use a little zip tie, easier to remove than silicone.

No wonder I broke it i didn't know you just press down I though you had to pry the tabs then pill the clip out oops.

I used a small zip tie to hold it on. Worked fine.

LOL I see I'm not the first dude to break that little serpentine tube!

I just replaced it with some rubber hose with some hose clamps on the ends.

Just replace the whole damned thing with some high-temp silicon tubing. That thing is such a chintzy P.O.S.
