I see the plexi-glass top of the S&B intake getting really scratched up and translucent looking after just a few engine bay washes.
Just to make sure let me ask, are you pushing the tube into the box a far as you can go ? Then pull it as necessary? This can actually make a difference when trying to seat the box in place.

No that was really not the issue. Whether I move the battery cable out of the way or not, the top back of the intake box leans against the battery and holes at the bottom won’t align at all with battery tray prongs.
I even tried to remove the battery and its tray completely because I wanted to see if there was a part number on the tray since I had to order a new one.
The battery can’t be moved more towards the back, so I gave up because there was no way it would fit at all. This box I have is just too big. I hope they can send me a new one.
I just noticed that you have a facelift MK7.5 maybe VW changed something either the battery tray or the battery size.

Per S&B engineer, might be an issue with 2018 models with start/stop function and the type of battery used by VW... waiting to hear back for a solution ��
I wonder if S&B beta tested these or just used one model to design from. Mine showed up today so I'll update with my experience tonight when I install.
