Can I still use this air filter?
I was cleaning the engine air filter today and maybe I beat it too hard on the wall, a small part of the glue line on the top side of the filter has come off. The rest seems fine. Can I still use this or does it need replacing?

It's fine but if its a stock air filter I would rather get a new one then clean it.

I would replace it with a new one, although the missing chunk of glue is no big deal, but, just in case, that is the "clean' side of the filter, ie anything of this side of the filter, go straight into the intake, imagine a chunk of the remaining glue came loose and fly into the cylinder... AAAGGGGGHHHH, not worth for a $40 gamble IMO
