 theres a little knob on the end of the tensioner that should be held in place by your drop out thing, that way the spring can work... other then that i dont have a clue what it could be(i have the same tensioner)and the same gloves...

 i have a sillilar one and what i did is instead off pushing down i made it to push up. well i had to do because the derraileur hanger was striped and the screw was no longer holding on. so yea try my way. i also zip tied it. works great. never comes loose! give me your email. ill send you some pics of mine! hope it helps!

 there is a spring inside in two little holes and if it comes out of one of the holes it goes slack. just take it apart and put the spring back in the hole if it did fall out. you might have also snapped the spring inside of it or broke something

 no i fixed it. the spring has a point at the end that goes into a hole in the tensioner. the point on the spring bent so it wasnt staying in the hole so i bent it back.

 no not even close thats retarted. i fixed it a while ago. the scew just holds it onto the derialler...theres a spring inside and it has a little end on it that sticks out and goes into a hole inside the tensioner which holds everything in place. the peice on the spring bent off so it would just spin around in place. so i re bent it back and it was fine but it jstu re broke again. so i took it off and had my chain just tensioned properly without it
