Red Dot are great dealers, but they should really resist the urge to brand everything red. Their replacement for the notoriously loose and now discontinued 14043 cap (which fits the 35/2 ASPH v1 hood) is entirely red:

I'm sure plain black versions would sell better. The 3D-printed, unbranded 14043 replacement I got from isacjohansson on ebay looks fine and is more secure than the Leica original.

That RDC is a very ugly thing. Imagine creating that and thinking “yep, nailed it.”

I like the factory cap too. Does it get looser with age (don’t we all)?   

Not mine, not yet.  If it does I would reline the rim with adhesive felt OR go without.  With the hood on (which you have to have to use the caps) the front element is protected, more than enough, for me.
