I would look into finding a way to secure the plastic filter/sock onto the tube. I have that A100 reproduction sender in my van, sourced from “Vans” in Wisconsin. Same made in Taiwan sender offered by many. The element ends up coming off the tube over time. I would remove it and knurl the tube end somewhat and then reinstall the element so the knurling grabs onto the element. Also had this happen to a reproduction sender for a 78 D150 pickup.
