Cabin Filter clip lost

I swapped out the cabin filter on my W204, and I lost one of the metal clips on the side and it fell into the floor, past where I could comfortably peel back the carpet. I used a magnet as best I could with no luck.... I have the one clip on and the plastic sliding peice in place, it does however sag on one side probably less than half a centimeter.....I don't really believe I have any concern seeing as how I have driven it with the A/C blasting for probably 250 hours since that install lol. I'm just having a random occurrence of paranoia - 'what if a bug the size of a millimeter flew through that gap!!??' Anyone know where to pick up another clip or is it really anything to even care about?

Look for a generic clip at a auto parts shop or old car restorer.

You should get a clip soon that as to now cause the system to blow dirty air all through the cabin.

I lost one of mine the first time I replaced the filter. It's still in there someplace.

Forget about it.
