Nalo_b,

Number 1.  You should not have bent anything on the cap frame...defective or 
not while it is still under warranty. The toggle over point on the strap lock 
is critical to it functioning properly. Having bent any part of this area may 
have changed the geometry severely. I would say from past experiences that 
Melco does not approve of modifications to their cap frames...it may be 
unfortunate that you made this modification before sending it back to Melco for 
inspection.

Without actually seeing you hoop caps to see what you are doing, or not doing, 
it is difficult to say why they appear "loose" to you.

All caps and brands hoop differently, sometimes even from one lot to another. 

Are the wing nuts slipping, allowing the strap to loosen?

What backing(s) are you using on the caps?

Are you placing the band teeth "in" the cap bill seam?

The cap frame being sent out with the XTS is the newest modification series of 
the wide angle cap frame series. It is different than previous WACF frames in 
that it uses a "clamping" technique rather than a "hooping" technique. I have 
found it to hold the cap between the teeth much more securely than the previous 
WACF verisions. But, as with the other WACF frames, the cap needs to be hooped 
as tighly as possible.
