Re: HELP zipper broke..

I think you should just have the entire zipper replaced.... I don't believe they sell the parts.

Most laundry or dry cleaning services do repairs like that. Check your local phone book.

yeah, and you might want to provide the zipper yourself to make sure its as close to what you had.<br />also maybe you can rework the head so it may blend a little better. also try applying sipper wax to the track...maybe it will work..?

Pinch with pliers after rubbing the zipper down with a chapstick or candle.That should keep it zipping better for a while.Charlie

I've had many winter coat zippers replaced over the years at the local tailor's, for around $20. Didn't take long either, good luck.
