there should be like 8 bolts or so and 1 in the middle. you remove those and it should come off.

Alright, back on topic... OP, same thing happened to my car. You've broken the mounts for the airbox lid screws, and there isn't really anything you can do about it but replace the part. I ended up buying a used airbox from someone who installed an aftermarket intake here on the forums to replace it, and I've just been extremely careful not to overtighten the screws. I believe I actually broke off the old airbox lid in order to replace it with the new part. Good luck.
