My question is now you have the backband installed? Sounds like what you have isn't working and maybe you just need to work on the install. I built SoF boats and I install my coaming with screw into the coaming. Then I rig up some bungee cord pulling the back of the backband and holding it in place. If I end sitting on the backband I just have to move forward so the bungee pulls it back in place. On a new boat I sometimes have to adjust the tension a couple of times to get it right but it works well for me.
