How To Fix a Shark Navigator Extension Wand Lock Issue 

We can personally say that you do not have go be clever or handy to follow this tip. He explained it very well and we were able to fix my friend's shark very easily. One tip would be to use a super small flat head screw driver to pop it open. Extremely helpful video for anyone to follow. Saved my friend a lot of money on replacement part for now.

Thanks for the video - I watched your other one too and figured out my switch was fine but there was some thing stuck underneath that I got out with a toothpick so its working - I appreciate you taking the time to help all of us!

Thank you so much for this! On mine, the lock at the top broke, and I couldn't pull the handheld portion out to use it. I popped the cover off like you did here, to find that the red tab had broken in half, just like yours did. You saved me a ton of money, dude! Many thanks!

I wish I could hug you right now! 😂 I've been trying to figure out how to fix this forc2 days! And boom, you showed me in 2 minutes!!!🎉🎉

Unwrapping the cord solved my problem. 🤦 Thanks!

I almost had the same pattern of breakage. Should I trust gluing? I do not like the cheap plastics at key lever or fulcrum points. Most manufacturers still cut corners😢. One option is to take a thin rope and just have them strung taut around the wire wounding anchors. It seems to work for me. Nice video, thank you.

Thanks for this video! Currently having this issue with my Shark Navigator, delighted to see it should be a quick DIY fix.

My clip broke in exactly the same place as yours. Thanks for the video! 🎉

I love my shark. I have had my of them. Best vacuum ever and I have a cleaning service .

my vac is all fixed now, thanks brother

This is so helpful! Thank you!!

Worked like magic! Thank you 👏🏼👍

Great video! Simple fix and worked like a charm! Thanks!

Why and how is it that an otherwise excellent machine is brought to rubble over 1/2 in plastic tab! Why not make it metal if everyone is YouTubing how to fix it? And why is it 25 bucks to replace a known design flaw! Not cool Shark! 👎🏼 This is totally ridiculous. I will try this fix and will be even more upset when it fails again. 😢 thanks for your help.

I have the same issue with the wand slipping out but I did what you said and popped off the switch but it wasn't broken so not sure why it's not working?

Thank you for this video!!

thanks for this! i was sitting here thinking it was broken because i pulled up and it wouldn't budge... just had to unwind the cord 💀

Worked like a champ

thank you sir this really helps

Thank you!!! Great instructions, and it worked!!

My problem is at the handle I think it may be locked but not sure it's lose any ideas on how to remove it

My problem is that there isn’t a lower lock feature and my wand keeps coming loose while I vacuum

Thanks. I appreciate the help. It was a simple fix.

Excellent!!! Thank you!!!

Thats my problem but not the fix my button isnt broke but it isnt lovking whats wrong it wont go down far enough to lockall the slots are clear that the runners dlide on what is wrong please help

i tried to do this but when i removed the piece it broke into even more pieces...

What if you lose suction where the handle and extension wand meet

My top handle doesn't stay on..

PEOPLE lower the accessory holder if your issue is at the TOP. Then it will snap in! That was my issue, and I was thinking it was the lock!

Couldnt you buy a new clip?

tried this, it wont last. you can buy the whole extension wand cheaper than that piece pf plastic anyway.

My red button on the handle is broke

Don't waste your time. Failed immediately. Used gorilla glue.
