Re: My follow up: S80 2000

I made an oversize hole in the bottom cover through which the rubber hose protrudes, and cut the end at an angle similar to the original plastic duct. A possible improvement might be to screw another flat plate to the bottom cover, with a rectangular slot cut in it (could be made of plastic or metal) to force the hose termination into an oval shape, while adding another retention point. Another passibility is to cut off and re-use the fist 2" of the original duct. You will end up with plastic - rubber - plastic, or two rigid sections with a flexible part in between. A couple of hose clamps would hold it all together.
