I have no experience with your plastic version though it is a hood that 
anecdotally many have disliked. The earlier 12585 metal version (same 
design) works well. It resists the day to day knocks and bumps and big 
bangs result in a bent hood rather than the hood falling off. The hood 
is then easily straightened but unlikely to look mint again.
