Dome assist spring issue

Has any one experienced their springs popping off when they open the lid completely. It get a little annoying that i have to put one of them back on every time i open the dome. It appears they need to be 1/2 inch longer.

Pretty new at this compared to some other folks. I would assume it is the newer bands as the Egg is only a year old. Photos to show what i am referring to are attached.

try reversing the spring.....instead of the rear hook 'up', face it down. Then it won't slip off (fall thru). Then the top or upper part of hook is faced 'down' and it won't fall off. Thats how mine works. FWIW

Flip the spring over as @smittydog27 suggested. That is the issue~ John - https://www.instagram.com/hoosier_egger

Flipped the springs and all is good. Not sure why I did not notice, and I assumed it was assembled correctly.Washington, DC
