Get a spare strip of down pipe and cut it so you can spring it open, use solvent weld adhesive and glue it to the outside of your snorkel. If the mushroom top is still loose repeat the process but this time cut the strip in half and glue the 2 halves over the top of the first strip you fitted.

Buy one the right size or use the right size pipe

use a large inner tube from a push bike to make a rubber adaptor. Make it short enough and itll be stiff enough and also itll not collapse.
