That repeated flexing is exactly what fatigues a thin molded-plastic catch until it snaps. Once it's gone, the tube no longer locks in place and can come loose or fall out while you're cleaning. This part was designed by a professional cleaner whose own Air Stretch clip broke the same way after years of daily use, and who notes it as a common weak point on this machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;font-weight:bold;color:rgb(23,71,159);\"\u003eCompatible Models\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-size:11px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vax Air Stretch upright vacuum — replaces the clip that locks the telescopic extension tube onto the body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Vax sold the Air Stretch line under several model numbers, and we have not verified this clip against every variant, so please verify fit against your original clip before ordering, or message us a photo of yours and we'll help confirm the match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-size:9px;color:rgb(120,120,120);\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Vax and Air Stretch are trademarks of Vax Limited.
