Zipper replacement?

[Uncle Dave]

Greetings all,<br />On my Sylvan 21' cuddy. The top, mooring covers, and side curtains are in good shape. It is just the plastic zippers are deteriated to not usable. Is there a place that I could ship them to and have the zippers replaced?<br />Or any other alternatives.<br />Thanks,<br />Fitz.

Thanks for the prompt reply Bondo,<br />But the nearest "shop" is 100 miles. You think a local taylor or drapery shop could do such<br />Fitz.

Re: Zipper replacement?

I worked at a shoe repair shop throughout high school. A common misconception about "Cobblers" is that they only fix shoes. I can't count how many boat canvases, Jeep tops, suitcase zippers, and tents we fixed over those four years. Give your local shoe repair guy a shot. You've got to have one of those in the area. <br /><br />Keep in mind, he may look old and scary, but these guys are one of the last few "craftsmen" in the US IMO.<br /><br />Otherwise...<br /><br />

Go to http://www.shoerepairplus.com he takes shipped items, and ships them back. I can swear by his handiwork, because I used to work with him day in and out. He's a trustworthy man who I'd honesty trust my life with. He'll take care of you and be honest whether he can fix it properly for your or not.<br /><br />Sean
