    Bonjour, je n’arrive pas à faire descendre le nouveau curseur, seriez vous pourquoi ?

    Regardez s’il y a quelque obstruction le long de la fermeture, un bout de fil peut dérailler ou bloquer le curseur ou une dent qui est déformée. Un peu de lubricant pourrait aussi aider. Bonne chance.

    Incollato. Solo pressione o a caldo?

    Ciao @piergiorgiofol, da quanto ha capito le istruzioni della guida e il video sopra, bisogna solo premere il fermo sulla fettuccia con l'aiuto delle pinze. Non viene menzionato di scaldare. Forse dipende dal materiale della parte di ricambio che usi, ma l'etichetta o il packaging di questa dovrebbe indicare se c'è qualcosa di speciale a fare per montarla. Buona riparazione!

Where do I get the parts needed?

Off of another zipper

Amazon has replacement parts, but I found you can get almost any zipper parts from a sailing supply company called sailrite.com.

Perfect...thank you! I had seen about 10 other videos on how to do this repair but yours was the one that showed me exactly how to do it and it worked perfectly the first time. Much appreciated!

Thank you! This was great - I ordered the knippers and replacement parts for a jacket of mine that I broke, as I know my children will be breaking there's sooner or later. It cost me $10 instead of $40+ to replace a jacket.

Where did you get the replacement end plastic endstop?

Deborah Spaulding -

I can not thank you enough for this tutorial. I had contacted a seamstress and she said it would have to be replaced. Thank heavens I found your site. The zipper pull has been replaced on the zipper and I'm awaiting my order of stops to replace the top stop. Thank you, Thank you!

Hi

The tutorial is fab and I checked out sailrite for zippers which brings me a step further, but how do I determine the right size zipper. There is no numbers or anything on my current broken zipper. I thought about measuring the bottom or the top and going from that measurement? Any feedback appreciated.

thanks Jenny

Sometimes, if the slider is not broken, but it doen’t connect the two sides any more, you can very, very gently squize the upper and lower side of the slider. Most of the times it will be o.k. again.

You can check other zippers (if any) on pockets as they’re often the same size. A good quality zipper will have the size stamped on the back. Standard exterior coat zippers are size 5.

Thanks for keeping this tutorial up! I broke a tooth near the bottom stopper on a zipper and this helped me to fashion a fix!

'''Plastic zipper on a comforter coverlet will not stay zipped… it splits on both sides of the zipper. There’s no # on bottom of slider(made in China I think!) so how do I fix it? It’s a small slider.. nothing actually seems to be wrong with the slider! The plastic zipper just won’t start… it gaps open every time you zip it! In front & in back of the slider!!

Marcia - Réponse

How can I fix one with the slider (plastic teeth) when the stop is hidden (Sewn in) And I managed to get both sides feeding into the slider just fine but when I zip it, the zipper behind just pulls apart again. (This is on a Large sectional-sized throw pillow) so… it’s on track on both sides, the slider moves, but the zipper won’t stay zipped. It just pulls agape again. Help please

Good Luck.

If your garments were made better the zippers wouldn't break so often. I've had three SST jackets and various zippers have failed on all three. Now I but Rapala Pro jackets - twice the jacket at half the price.
