Jean Zipper Repair

Place your zipper in the upright position before trying to connect it to the zipper tracks.

If one of the zipper sides can be attached back on the tracks without any help, SKIP to Step 3.

If your zipper cannot be attached to the tracks easily, continue to the next step.

Use the flathead screwdriver and place it in between the zipper sides.

Twist the flathead screwdriver back and forth while holding the zipper steady.

This will allow the zipper side to open wider so the zipper tracks can fit in between the zipper's sides.

Attach the zipper to the zipper tracks.

Use the hammer to help close the zipper side onto the track.

Be sure to check that the zipper is secure on the track. Do this by moving the zipper up and down on the track and tugging on the zipper.

Repeat Step 2 for the other side of the zipper.

Make sure the tracks are even before hammering down the second side.

Pull and tug on the zipper and jeans until the tracks start lining up.

Start hammering the top and sides of the zipper to secure the closing.

Check to make sure the zipper is attached by moving the zipper up and down.

Continue to hammer the top and sides if the tracks aren't connecting when you zip up the jeans.

After hammering the zipper, everything should be secure. Move the zipper up and down a few more times to ensure the tracks are even, connecting and staying connected.
