Well, I checked mine yesterday. They were still seated correctly. I'm glad I took the time to check them because they were quite dirty. I've never seen so many dismembered bugs before. Anyways, I cleaned them thoroughly and spun them 180 degrees for even use. They're back in again and all is well.

PS. I think there may be a reason some filters have fallen out of place. The airbox is designed in such a way that you must install the filters then flip the airbox over to tighten the screws. Perhaps this is the reason the filters fall out of place. Instead, I place my airbox on the side of my workbench. I install 1 filter at a time from the bottom. That way, the airbox & filter remains steady during installation. I would suggest everyone do the same.
