Well the um2+ series have different clips that hold the glass because the old clips where causing too many fingers to bleed.
Now I guess the new ones aren't tight enough?!
I would put a thin sheet of rubber in there somehow to keep it from moving around. I've had the head hit parts with pretty incredible force before - the equivalent that if you did it with hour fist it would knock the printer a few inches across the table. Maybe 10 pounds for 1/10th second?
So yeah - I would increase the gripping power of those clips. Maybe get some glue stick under them onto the glass?

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
