Made to work specifically with Polaris 380 and 360 models — and their Vac-Sweep variants — the part reinstalls easily and keeps your cleaner’s upper chamber properly sealed and supported. It weighs approximately 2 pounds and is intended as a straightforward repair solution so you don’t have to replace the whole cleaner when only the top housing is worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this top housing fit my Polaris 380 or 360?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9-100-1240 top housing is engineered to the same specifications as the original factory component, so it lines up with the same screw holes, seals, and mounting points on the Polaris 380 and 360 models.
