MAF problems need quick help

[95WhiteVenom]

Took an MAF off my buddies just bought 94 vert to clean it. Seeing how it was dirty as hell i started cleaning the whole thing and the screen popped off completely. There is a rubber housing around the screen but it looks to big to fit in the hole on the meter and there looks to be no adhesive tht was holding it on. I need to know how to put this screen back on so the MAF can go back on the car.
ANY INFO WOULD BE APPRECIATED
thanks

Ditch it, as well as the air silencer. No need. I have as most of the board has as well.

I would hope anything large enough to get caught by that screen would have already been caught by the air filter. It's probably Ford's way of smoothing out the airflow to quiet intake noise, like the silencer.
