The original hood falls apart due to a plastic retaining collar, about 1cm deep, becoming detached from the rest of the hood, releasing all of the springs and ball bearings etc.

This has happened twice to me, my dealer replacing it twice with no issues.

A good solution would simply to add some tidy black duct tape to make the small collar immovable. Especially when taking it out of the bag where it’s most vulnerable.
