The Windtunnel Supreme bagged door is the same as the Tempo bagged door. Now depending on your model, the final filter may be located on the outside of the machine or it could be located on the inside in a little compartment.  Check your final filter and ensure that the filter is completely enclosed in its casing and that the filter door shuts properly/ filter encasement is pushed in all the way.  Also check door gasket.  There should be a gasket on the door perimeter inside of its recessed holder area.  Ensure it is in place all around.  


All Hoover Windtunnel bagged machines use the Type Y bag.  Still a big bag but fits.   I always form the bag sort of like a box.  Then the top and bottom have to folded and stuck either way under on the bottom or deep in on the top.  Push all sides of the bag deep inside the machine as well so that it has no chance of getting stuck in the door closure area.  On the bottom of the bag door, are 2 prongs that stick down about 1/2" on either end. These prongs have a high breaking record!!  Be careful with them.  However, I've still been able to lock doors enough with them broken.  The prongs are supposed to fit into the 2 notch sized openings that are shaped like the prongs in the recessed plastic housing support.  The best way to shut the door, is angling the bottom in to line up the prongs inside of the grooves.  Fit bottom prongs into the space, line up sides then push down and in on top quite firmly and bag door should have an audible scratching sounding snap.  It's kind of sounds like rubbing plastic screech but then it snaps a little and moves in no further.  When you let go, then push and tug gently on door from top, it should not come off but will have definite play.  The loose play in the door once shut is fully taken care of by the vacuum cleaners suction.  The entire door is pulled into the gasket firmly once vacuum cleaner is running.  This is a Clean Air designed machine.  Make sure pre-motor filter at bottom of bag cavity is always clean and in place.


Please let me know if this helps!  I've changed many bags on Windtunnels, and Tempos.  I have never used a Self Propelled Windtunnel, but I don't think that door style is much different from that of the Supremes as shown as blue model U5458-910 in picture below.
