    Abstract: Installation of a snorkel on a vehicle can be facilitated by slide-in attachment configurations. A slot can be defined in a vehicle body member (e.g., a fender). The slot includes an insertion portion and a retention portion. A width of the insertion portion is greater than a width of the retention portion. The snorkel has an inlet end portion and an outlet end portion. The outlet end portion can include a flange. The width of the flange is less than a width of the insertion portion but greater than the width of the retention portion. The outlet end portion can be-initially received in the insertion portion. The snorkel and/or the vehicle body member can be manipulated so that the outlet end portion moves into the retention portion. The outlet end portion can be retainably received therein due to the flange being larger than the width of the retention portion.
