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!

Thank you! This was EXACTLY what I needed to see! A lot of other videos were trying to show me the whole zipper replacement process but this was just what I needed, thank you! (Loved the extra info about the size of zippers and they usually being a 5!) 👍👍👍

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.

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.

Thanks for the compliment, Thomas. I do my best to post good quality content.

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.

Great sharing 👍👍👍

Clear and to the point. What could I use if I don’t have a replacement top stop?

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.
