Real seat failure?

Anyone else run into this? On many of my non-plate seats, the hood has come apart from the theaded part. This happens more often on spinners, but has happened enough on conventionals to erk me. I now run plate seats on all my spinners I wrap. I have had reels get so stuck under the hoods after the threaded part comes off, that I have to cut the hood. That's a quick way to force me to have to re-wrap another rod.

These are the seats I am referring to that fail. No pictures of a busted one, but I have a rod to be re-wrapped that I may take a picture of later.
