Broke one of the pollen filter clips

will I have to resort to superglue, or is there any way of replacing the clip?

Mine has sat in my GSI for 12 months now with no clips on at all. The size of the pollen filter means it's wedged in the hole and the absence of the clips makes no difference to how it performs.

One of my clips was broken so i used an elastic band

Yep, mine is broke as well but it sits nicely, another alternative to an elastic band as someone mentioned on here is to use a bit of foam to wedge it in.

I had the same problem, and I sorted it by wedging half a small rawlplug upside down in front of the clip. It works well as the rawlplug has a slit from the open end which fits nice and tight over the metal edge of the pollen filter housing, and butts up to the clip. Without it the pollen filter was hanging out of the housing on one side. Glad to know I wasn't the only one with this problem. The clips are so flimsy and easily broken.

They are like milk chocolate, mines just wedged in.

i nearly broke mine this morn when inspecting the filter.... they are so soft its unreal!

On a side note i was checking the filter as apparently it was replaced when it was serviced 2k miles ago..... I dont think so... back to the garage 2moro for me!!!
