How to replace the pin and or Insertion box on zipper

[@1Ruh2Another]

I have not been able to wear two of my favorite jackets because the insertion pin is missing on both of them. Thank you so much for showing this incredibly easy fix!

[@MrMeheheh]

Awesome. I had a nice jacket the pin failed on and I thought I would need an entire new zipper. Thanks for posting.

[@topnotchdesigns303]

Glad I could help!

[@TogoWolf11]

Very helpful! I thought the zippers on my two favorite jogging jackets were done for. Thank you for showing me how to replace the bottom stop on both of them! :)

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills. I am so glad to find a way to repair my jacket. Can you tell were I can buy the pin? Is it sold as a repair kit?

[@styledbylola]

Thank you! My pin/lower part of zipper is separated from coat. Tailor chargers $65 to replace the zipper. I'll see if I can DIY.

Great video. I have a jacket that needs a new pin, ordered a zipper kit. Can't find a pin that fits one on jacket so going to have to replace both pin and box. But that said the pin side is a little frayed not horribly but, would like to reinforce the area. What do you suggest to reinforce before putting pin on? Thank you.

Great tutorial! I will finally be able to fix the insert pin of my jacket! On a side note, I wanna ask if there are any alternative to the zipper pincher? Would a regular plies work?

[@dancoffey8412]

Very nice lesson. I wish I knew what the pin looked like and how to buy them.😊

[@SG-kv8ly]

[@topnotchdesigns303]

Thank you, you get them off of Amazon it is called a zipper pin or zipper retainer box.

My zipper I need to fix also needs the fabric repaired and it had a plastic reinforcement. How do you fix that.

[@paulclark3540]

I can’t get my zip apart at the bottom, so as to separate the 2/2 of a mattress cover . Didn’t want to pull it too hard but if there’s nothing to remove first I’ll give it another go 🤔

[@lyndieharkey2566]

Thanks for the video. I was going to use the box from a zipper I have to fix a jacket. Is it possible to remove the box from a zipper?

[@topnotchdesigns303]

Unfortunately you may not be able to reuse the pin box once it is removed from another zipper. A lot of the time it get damaged trying to remove it. I would recommend buying the zipper repair kit off of Amazon.

Always good to be able to repair and not have to discard them. Glad I was able to help out.

[@neilrazdan1457]

Good video. But my problem is a bit bigger. I'll appreciate if you could suggest a solution. First of all, it is not a jacket that I am trying to fix. This is the rear of a Jeep Wrangler softtop. The insertion pin is unstable, not completely detatched., Causing the zipper not to close. Secondly the zipper zipper has opened and stuck. It is a double zipper. Two pull tabs, one for the left and one for the right side. Thanks.

[@topnotchdesigns303]

Is it detached from the zipper tape partially? If so the zipper is broken and needs to be replaced.

What should I do if I don’t have enough material to heat up to put the zipper back on to ?

[@topnotchdesigns303]

Hello, you don't always have to heat it up if the area is not enough for you to attach a new pin or insertion box then you may have to replace the zipper.

[@isaiahallen2507]

Thanks !!

⁠ How do you add the stops and plastic to a brand new separating zipper tape?

[@topnotchdesigns303]

Hello, a brand new zipper already has top stops on it. The only time you would need to replace the top stops or add tops stops is if you replace the slider or shorten the zipper. I hope that answered your question.

[@Cynisecheri]

Thank you for taking time to reply. I was actually referring to zipper tape that is sold by the yard. It doesn’t come with zipper pulls or stops. You’re supposed to cut the tape to the desired length and add stops and zipper pull. I was able to figure out how to add the stops and pulls and plastic.

[@topnotchdesigns303]

@@Cynisecheri Oh ok I'm sorry I misunderstood. I am glad you were able to figure it out

[@Cynisecheri]

@@topnotchdesigns303 Thank you again. You’re video was very helpful

[@Cavtrooper78]

What do you do when the place where your pin goes is frayed?

[@topnotchdesigns303]

You could put a little heat to it ie a lighter to seal the frayed area. If thay does not work you would need to replace the zipper as it will not stay on.

[@MOSES_films]

where can buy zipper pins I need some help thank you.

[@topnotchdesigns303]

You can get the zipper repair kit from Amazon.

[@doctor1011]

What plastic is that you heated with lighter?

[@topnotchdesigns303]

The plastic piece where the pin box was to seal it and prevent fraying.
