I do admit they are tricky to fit properly !
So to investigate further I thought a poll might be of interest to see how common the problem is .
Please note this poll is mainly only for people who have had the caps replaced as I assume failure of original caps is a different matter , but I have added an option for those who have had a failure of the original "untinkered-with" items !
There should be an option for: no failure, still on original seals

Which, I guess, would be the case if you leave them well alone.
