Shark Navigator (ZU62) Vacuum Accessory Tool Holder

If you own a Shark Navigator (ZU62) upright vacuum, you already know the design oversight: it comes with a great extra accessory tool, but absolutely nowhere on the vacuum body to store it.

Fortunately, there is a native, unused accessory slot built right into the back of the vacuum. I designed this custom, print-in-place slide-in holder to utilize that exact slot perfectly. It solves the storage problem elegantly without requiring any permanent modifications or hardware. (Note: Because many vacuums share OEM parts, this may work on other Shark models as well!)

Key Design Features:

• Hose Clearance: The top of the base features a 4-degree tilt, leaning the tool holder slightly outward. This provides plenty of breathing room for the extendable hose handle running directly in front of the slot, preventing any snagging.

• Engineered Friction Fit: The holder features a 1.3” diameter cylinder equipped with six tiny outer ribs (0.02” radius) running down the sides. This ensures just the right amount of friction for a snug, rattle-free fit while still keeping the tool incredibly easy to slide off when it's time to clean.

• Secure Mounting Tabs: The slide-in mounting tabs are designed with tight tolerances for a tight, snug fit inside the vacuum's built-in receiver slot. This ensures the entire holder stays firmly locked to the vacuum body when you pull upward to remove the tool. But still easy to remove if needed.
