I checked my MR today and it had a zip tie on: I did not put it on. Can MR owners check to see if their's already has a zip tie on?

Isn't there like a metal clip we can buy at home depot or something... Cus the zip tie doesn't look like it will last.

Thanks for the info... this will be some good preventative measure. Hopefully the zip tie doesn't melt...

It won't melt. They can take more heat than you think and intake doesn't get near hot enough.
