It might be just slightly long and is missing a tab so this is definitely not a genuine Dyson part. I can get everything tucked away again on the vacuum so it does fit. I was able to fix my vacuum for cheap and it got to my house the day after I ordered. A YouTube video gave a good explanation as to how to remove the old one, might need a screw driver if it's really stuck. Definitely satisfied with the purchase. Will update if it fails prematurely.
