But if the M6 is holding these lenses upside down, won't their lens hoods tend to extend and therefore protect, rather than collapse?

Are there any lens hoods that will fit the current 50 mm f/2 Summicron-M and the 90 mm f/2.8 Elmarit-M? I have the "Lens carrier M" on my M6 and prefer to carry the lens on my camera and in the carrier with the lens cap off (knowing full well that I would lose the cap in 2 minutes). I know that both of these lenses have the sliding lens hood but it really cannot protect the lens since it can easily slide to the collapsed position. Any info on this will be greatly appreciated.
