    As a rule I don't sell anything on my channel. I bought my zipper pull and some other items from Sailrite. My experience with Sailrite has been good, so I will put a link to their zipper parts (I don't know how long it will work). I am also going to put a link below to a video I have on how to deal with faulty products. Paying with a credit card gives you a lot of leverage for bad/faulty products. Have a great day!

      Tony Vento I’m so glad I’ve found this video. I’ve kept at least two sweaters with broken zippers as I generally don’t like throwing things unless they are absolutely unsalvageable. I also make cleaning rags out of some my old clothes. While I don’t like to accumulate garbage (mostly by not accumulating space hogging purchases in the first place), I also don’t like society’s throw away mentality.

    What if the top stop is a plastic tab that looks sewn into the fabric? Any advice?

    • @Know-How-Now
      @Know-How-Now  5 років тому

      Can you remove it and then sew the stop back in place after the repair? If that is not an option, you could try replacing the sewn in stop with a clamp on type. The challenge might be getting the correct stop.

    @vivianoni9565 5 років тому

    I've had success in repairing sliders errantly detached from zipper tracks *without* my needing to remove a topstop. With zippered bags & accessory items like some eyeglass cases, there is no topstop to remove to allow slider replacement. The sliders I've repaired so far disjoined *one* side of the track. The repair requires some care with pliers, though it's sth anyone can get the hang of.

      I don't know of a way of getting a plastic stop off without destroying it. IMHO, the most difficult part of this repair is hunting down the replacement parts. You would have to use a metal stop to replace the plastic one. I got my zipper parts at Sailrite.

  • @garylewis327
    @garylewis327 4 роки тому

    I have a bicycle touring luggage bag that needs a new slider. The zipper is horizontal and the slider is always engaged to both sides of the zipper, whether it's fully opened or fully closed. There is no way to disengage it from either side of the zipper, except to bend it out of shape or break it (as I did, inadvertently). My question is, how do I get a new slider on this zipper if there is no "end" to the zipper? To clarify, imagine a zipper on the side of some soft-sided luggage which opens a pouch to store smaller items. It's like that. The slider is always engaged. The only thing I can think of is to cut a few teeth out of one end of the zipper, on both sides, engage the new slider to both sides and zip it up, then put some kind of a stop on that end so the slider can never open that far again. Does that sound feasible?

    That’s not going to work for me and what I need BUT I have a pullover similar to that and even though this doesn’t fix my bag, it saved a lot of my jackets haha. Thank you!

    ok I haven't been able to get the top stop off because I have no good tools, but how do I stop the slider from sliding off the bottom of the zipper?I bought the Zipper Rescue repair kit, but the slider that came off includes a part that wasn't included in the kit. Its a little metal bit that slided into the bottom of the slider.

      I am not familiar with the Zipper Rescue repair kit. Maybe you have the wrong slider for your zipper?

    How do you determine the size/type you need to get?

    • @Know-How-Now
      @Know-How-Now  3 роки тому

      There are some websites that sell zippers/parts, you'll have to do some home work to get the correct one. IMHO, that's the hardest part of this job.

    Thank you, it was very helpful to have not just a guide on the physical repair but info on how to find what specific pieces I needed. The zipper for a window on a Jeep canvas top broke as I was installing it, had a missing window in the car so being able to get all the pieces ordered ASAP was a big help.

    My wife found a hoody that someone had abandoned in a locker at the Lowes that she was an HR manager at. She gave it to me and I really like the thing. It gets washed a lot and the zipper finally broke. I got slightly depressed because the hoody was perfect for the Gulf Coast climate.
    After watching your video I noticed that a fleece vest I have at work has zippered pockets that I never zip up. I sacrificed one of the zippers on the vest and put it on the hoody. Life is good now. Your video was a huge help.

      Hi Kevin, thank you for taking the time to comment. The red fleece in the video is a favorite of mine. I too was bummed when the the zipper broke. I hope you hoody has a long life.

    Zippers are a mystery lol. No one cares about them till one goes bad. It should be a class in school. More useful than what they taught us.

      I don't know if schools still have "Home Economics" classes. Everyone was taught how to operate a sewing machine, sew on buttons, basic cooking skills etc. It was a useful class for me.
