[Leica] Lens hood won't stay on

[Sonny Carter]

If I recall, there's a notch in the lens at the top center that the 12526
needs to be aligned to a projection on the hood that keeps it from
rotating.   If it doesn't fit in there, the hood won't move down enough to
hold on the channel on the lens that the hood's little clamps grip into.

If that isn't the problem, you might check and make sure all of the little
grips are working and not clogged.   Just squeeze the buttons and watch
them and make sure they are all working.

Last resort, get Leica to replace the hood.
