It lets the operator see the fabric and the recovered water as it comes off, which is how you judge when a section is clean and when it is dry enough to stop. And with the glide it forms the sealing face against the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cracked, crazed or clouded housing costs you both. You lose the view, and once a crack opens up you lose vacuum through it — which shows up as fabric staying wetter than it should, the exact fault an upholstery tool exists to avoid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to replace it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCracked or chipped\u003c\/strong\u003e — replace it.

A cover pulled down unevenly can distort enough to leak air at one corner, which is difficult to diagnose afterwards because nothing looks wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the sealing edge is clean before the new housing goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with the glide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
