How old are you q-snaps that they have become loose? I've had mine for a year or so and have no prob ...

If you slide the older ones, like mine, slightly off top centre of the frame you will hear a crunching kind of sound. That is what I think causes them to loosen up. My daughter has a newer snap and has not had that happen to her. But I also notice her clamps are different from mine. They are a thicker plastic so I think more resistant to stress.
