Broke intake snorkel on girlfriends versa?

[RunningCucumber]

My girlfriend’s radiator started seeping, so I started replacing it this week.

2012 versa 1.8SL hatchback

While taking off the intake snorkel I broke at least 1 (maybe 2 pieces) pictures included. Can I super glue the circular piece back on?

And lastly does anyone know if this piece is supposed to wiggle like this?

It's okay to glue or tape pretty much any part of the intake leading to the air filter, including the bottom half of the airbox. The worst that happens is you allow a little warm engine-box air into the intake stream. Repairing the top of the box risks letting dirty air past the filter, and anyplace after the MAF you're risking vacuum leaks and unmetered flow.

FYI, Imgur is now popping up a stupid "disable your ad blocker" message. I'll be dipped in s#it before I turn off my blocker for anybody, so I can't analyze your wiggle. Maybe try YouTube.

Appreciate it!

I think I got YouTube to work - https://youtube.com/shorts/xJ3DzwwqQgc? ... MLxf68pNEz

My gut tells me that piece is secured by the whole snorkel snapping into the front and resonator bracket

Yep, that worked. Your gut is correct. The red thing in the diagram below is a resonator, you can block the port and eliminate it if necessary. The engine just may "howl" a bit without it.
