So after getting my car back from having the motor mounts done, I found that the intake elbow wasn't seated correctly on the airbox (easily fixed), and also this:

I tried reattaching the PCV hose to the elbow, but there doesn't seem to be any clip or attachment mechanism. This is the piece in question, I'm wondering if this was just plastic welded to the elbow and sheared off?

Needless to say I'm pretty pissed at the shop that did my motor mounts. Does anyone have any ideas on how to reattach the PCV hose? Is the coupling sheared, and if so can it be replaced or do I need to replace the whole elbow? Or am I just stupid, and not seeing the correct way to connect this piece?

I fixed that same break with super glue about 5 years ago and have had the hose off 5 times since so it’s held up fine.

Good to hear. I ordered a new elbow from Tischer, but I think I'll slather on some super glue while I'm waiting on the part to ship.
