!!! Injen Intake... did they forget a part? Now what?

A few months ago I installed an Injen CAI in my 5 spd. EX. The temperature sensor that you plug into the tube right before it goes into the engine snapped right in without a problem. I noticed on my friend's EX who also has an Injen CAI, but purchased it later than I did, he's got a red rubber washer in the hole that the sensor inserts into. I don't have this piece. I didn't care, until today when I popped my hood for a friend who wanted to check out the intake, and noticed that the sensor was half inserted in the hole. I haven't had my hood open in quite a while, so for all I know it's been like this for a month. I'm going to get an oil change ASAP, but what else should I do? And how do I go about fixing this sensor in the tube problem? As soon as I found it I duct taped it into the tube just so no more unfiltered air would get in there. Sorry for the long post!

Call Injen... They left the breather hose out of my kit, supposed to be sending me one... I made up for it with heater hose, maybe you can try some of that on this one too... or go to a hardware/plumbing store and see if they have some kind of rubber bushing that will fit.
