How do you replace the 2003 Ford Focus air filter when the screws to the airbox just spin instead of come off?

I have had the same problem with my 2003 Focus. I have heard from a couple garages that this is a common issue with the Ford Focus air filter box and cannot simply be fixed. The air box will have to be replaced. I have been quoted around $400.00 for the work, but I'm pretty sure there are better deals out there. The part is just molded plastic and I'm sure it's not that difficult to swap out. For the meantime I drilled out the bad screws and have the box secured with Duct Tape.

There is a 5"x12" rectangular airbox on the right side middle of the engine that has 4 Phillips screws, one on each corner. Use a little bit of elbox grease and an appropriate sized screw driver to loosen screws until they rotate freely. There's no need to remove them completely. Carefully slide air intake tube from the left side of the airbox (e.g using a flathead screwdriver). Remove airbox top cover taking care not to tear any of rubber hoses around. Pull out the old air filter noting the positioning of the filter and replace with compatible filter (Fram CA9564 Heavy Duty Air Filter works) available at walmart or amazon. Also be sure to clear out debris caught in the bottom of the airbox before adding new filter. Replace the airbox cover and tighten the screws. Re-attach air intake making sure the rubber tab from the air intake fits into the notch in the airbox. You are done.
