repair replace broken zipper slide

[@shallalasim7446]

Thankyou so much buddy. On every other video I saw how to fix the zipper, they fix that very difficultly, but you shown us easy and correct way, thanks once again..

[@MultiBadavis]

Thanks! I was starting to look into buying replacement sliders, and then googled youtube, and voila - I fixed two favorite jackets with a double slider zipper I happened to have in my sewing cabinet for like decades. The only thing I had to modify from your instructions is to put a teensy slit just below the top stop (I just couldn't get the slider over those stops) to get the slider on, and this slit doesn't effect anything. Thanks again!

[@tigerfan766]

THANKS SO MUCH!! The slide on my Cortech motorcycle jacket broke today, thought it was destined for the garbage can. I never knew this could be done, I always thought you had to replace the whole zipper and this being leather, I knew it would not be easy, but 5 minutes after watching your excellent video the jacket is back in business. I removed a slide off of a pocket like you suggested.

[@kvnmorgan]

Thank you. The slider broke on my sons ski jacket. I was going to buy the as seen on TV "Fix a Zipper" until I noticed all the poor reviews. This video was Very helpful. Thank You. Also, for all you critics out there you should have the ability to use the slide bar to fast forward or not watch videos at all.

[@legcard]

Thank you. The zipper on my grandson's favorite jacket stuck this morning and his solution was to hit it with a hammer which broke the post of the slide. It would be cheaper to replace the jacket than find the right size zipper and pay a seamstress to put the new zipper on. Hobby Lobby sells zipper slides and stops (2 in a box) for $1.99. I will be watching your video again once I get the new slide this morning. Thank you!

Great video! Was about to spend money to have the whole thing replace. After watching your video, I found an old jacket and did exactly what you did. You saved me time and money. Thank you!!

[@nurfarhanadzolkhifli4813]

I dont know how to thank you. I tried almost half an hour to repair my 2 years old's zipper jacket, he keep on playing with the zipper on the 1st time wearing it. Almost gave up and want to throw into the dustbin. Your video save his jacket's lifeee!!!!!! And i feel so satisfied because eventually i can repair it. Thanks so so so so so muchhh!

[@L1AM_20_10]

Thx brother, I just fixed my favourite winter jacket that cost me just over $100. I’ve had it for more than 6 years maybe another 6 to come lol! God bless you!

[@Leveer13]

Thanks a ton. I had just bought a new jacket and closed the zipper in the door of my home by accident and ruined it. You saved me a lot of money.

[@HSingMomto5Kids]

I don't understand why ppl are complaining about the 7mins video! Awesome job on the video! You saved myself and so many money that you didn't have to save us from. I'll watch videos that don't give enough video so thank-you so much!! In the past I've thrown away sweatshirts, jackets, and even this yr boots. No more spending way too much money or throwing away perfectly great clothing or paying someone to do something simple that I can take a few mins to do myself after buying a zipper. Thanks so much! I'm so grateful for this video!! :)

Great video! I can now repair my N-3B Parka zipper a $39.00 cost for the full zipper and cost of having the original removed and the new sewn in. It's a Korean-Era N3-B and your method of repair, just helped me keep the vintage of my N3-B, intact. Very much appreciated! All the best.

[@spakkker3]

After nearly 11 years , this just saved mine too . I just took a slider from one of the side pockets by cutting a bit into both sides with craft knife. Thank You

[@pnchandler9820]

Broken zipper pull on my favorite robe - 32" zipper. I was not looking forward to ripping out old zipper and putting in a new one. While searching at a store for some thread, I saw zipper pulls. Light bulb! I had already bought the 32" zipper months ago but kept putting it off. Then I did a youtube search. Found your video. You are a genius! I removed pull from new zipper and used your method to replace the pull on robe zipper. Brilliant! Took me all of two minutes compared to all the seam ripping and sewing in new zipper as originally planned. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! Your video may be ten years old, but the best and easiest I found. That zipper has been broken for years. I hate sewing so I kept putting it off. Even shopped for a new robe. Nothing like this one. Thank You Again! Wrong time of year for this heavy robe, so winter get here fast. A hundred hugs to you! :-)

[@marksheppard7160]

Always like vids that explain things. A lot of people benefit at times. Thanks for posting.. Didn't read all the comments to know if anyone has chimed in with other info... another option for replacement is to go to a fabric store, And by a new slider...The size is stamped on the zipper slider most of the time.. or take the parts and match it up.. you would be surprised at all the parts to repair a zipper out there..

[@marisadamiano2088]

Thanks! I wasn't sure this was going to work. First zipper was too small, tries another, worked! You saved me probably at least $20.00. Thanks

[@Listadepeliculas]

Thank you very much. The pace that you took to explain on how to replace a broken zipper slide is very very good. The amount of details that you explain was also very helpful to me.

[@mrmissfunny]

AWESOME VIDEO. Thank you, you just saved me 20 bucks to fix my sons winter jacket, took me 5 mins to fix after watching this video. Just found a old jacket that no one used anymore took the zipper off slide it on the new one. YES!

[@SewPro4u]

Well, I think this is great. I will try this on a leather jacket. So far, the zipper is not sliding off as easily as your jacket but the information you shared takes the mystery out of basic zipper repair. Thanks.

[@jaysonest95]

Thank you so much man this really helped, My brother gave me his jacket before he passed away but the zipper came off &so now Im able to wear it again. 🙏

My zipper slider piece itself became loose after some time and i didn't know how to fix it until i saw your video. I didn't even know you could just re apply the zipper slider just by inserting it form the top of the jacket. Thank you for tutorial on how to re apply the zipper back onto the jacket. I was able to do it in one minute. you just saved me time and money.

[@yuumei]

He takes a while to explain it but he's pretty thorough and resourceful. Thanks, will try it out!

[@johnhotely855]

Thank you so much the zipper on my winter jacket I just bought last year broke just like the one in the video. I took it to be repaired and the cost was 30 bucks. I said no way. Thanks a lot.

[@riffsmusic7367]

Hi, I just fixed my winter jacket with guidance from this video. The front zip slider was totally broken in half. I used one of the pocket sliders by snipping off one of it's end pegs and mildly forcing it off the zip track (i could have snipped the other end peg off if necessary) Then I managed to actually pull off the top left peg on the front zip and slip on this slider which then worked like the original (with same style tag too) I made the slit in the removed peg much wider (with a small flat end screwdriver) and with pliers, gently coaxed it back onto the zip rail and then squeezed it shut (plastic btw) Voila ! Like new and saved me buying another costly jacket. Thank you for giving me the insight and confidence.

[@evelynkillion8524]

Great video---I really didn't want to replace a whole zipper just for the slider. This method saved my sons jacket!

[@queeniz59]

Thanks so much for making this video I just crushed my kids super expensive jacket clip and was devastated as the zipper cannot be replaced after seeing your video I ran upstairs took a clip off and old piece of clothing and slipped it on in seconds fixed the beauty of youtube and people taking the time to show sth so simple!

[@jameswood9597]

I was told once by someone who seemed to know what she was talking about it the metal slider which wears out and not the plastic zipper itself. The slider wears out because it gets dirty and the dirt grinds down the metal with time. The prevention is to wash the garment or handbag or whatever as a preventive meaure. This makes sense to me. However, once the slider fails, it has to be replaced, but not the whole zipper. Knowing this fact can save you an expensive fix.

[@jonnasweety]

Thanks!!! This is very educational. I did not need to go to a shop to get my jacket zipper repaired. It took only less than 3 minutes to change the zipper slider and I saved penny and time.

[@ate_up_bassin]

Dude just wanted to let you know this video totally saved the day. I watched another video on how to "squeeze" the zipper slide on an off track zipper which actually cause me to break the zipper slide. After watching your video I was able to scavenge another vipper off of a simular jacket and it worked. This was my favorite sweatshirt of all time and cost me 80 dollars thanks again.

[@dr3406]

This worked great! I had a really nice lined sweatshirt jacket that had a plastic pull that broke. I found your video and after searching through some jackets found one that had a zip out liner that had lost teeth, but still had the pull. I had it fixed in no time. Thanks so much for your video. God bless.

[@Dark_Prince089]

Great video! I have a lightweight Route 66 jacket that I wear all year round and the zipper broke just a few days ago. Was able to replace it in no time!

[@badabinggirl11]

Have a cute jacket for my daughter and i was so bummed when the zipper broke right after i bought it. (It wasn't inexpensive). I was about to take it to a shop, but i watched your video and she had her jacket back in working order in no time. The hardest part was finding a zipper that fit. Just tried some off some old clothes and found a match. Thanks for this.

[@bekkahtheadventurer8559]

I searched for like an hour’s worth of videos on zipper repair and this is exactly what I needed.

[@JackedLobster]

Brother, you just saved a pretty expensive softshell! I was afraid I was going to have to have a seamstress replace the entire zipper, shich would have been a shame since this particular zipper is a "waterproff" rubberized design. Thanks a bunch!

[@cindywilshire8700]

Wow. Great information. Saved me some bucks with an easy repair. Thanks

[@linnmclain6503]

Thank ya! I am so grateful. My teen boy has an Aeropostale jacket that needed the zipper slide repaired. I DID IT THANKS TO YOUR VIDEO! YES! I AM SO PLEASED!

I love you now!!! Thanks to you I haven't got to take a zip out of a coat and put in a new one. A million thanks to you xx

[@helenngchen]

Wasn't able to easily pull the zipper on top like you. I did, however, cut enough to pull the zipper and sewed up the cut I made, I made it way up on top and my son never zips all the way on top. Thanks!

[@roxtaramir]

Damn! After looking around for like, an hour, I thought this was gonna be some complicated procedure. Who knew it was this easy! Thanks mate :)

[@drbnkb]

Thank you! my coat zipper slide fell off. I had to cut the black stop at the top off, the slide wouldn't go in, now it works great!

[@deviacouture4603]

i love your long video, regardless of the other comments. I held out until the very end and glad I did; you gave me a light bulb moment when you explained that a slide could be taken from the pocket zipper. Thank you, I would not have thought about this in my desperation for a zipper fix.

[@nancybaron4411]

Thank you so much! Great close-ups and well photographed. Thank you for saving my favorite jacket! So well explained !!!

[@22tigershark]

I had to replace the slider on my work safety vest fairly urgently as it had being damaged in a tumble dryer. I detached the slider from a cheap rain coat by copying PovertyLabs scissors technique; however I could only get the slider on by cutting off the top stop-end. Still, I am grateful as I could have lost my job due to the zipper malfunction. Thanks PovertyLabs!

[@MrTubby75]

Excellent demonstration! Washing machines and tumble-dryers love to destroy zippers. Mine became a casualty of one of these machines. I have vowed revenge!

[@jaynemosier9130]

Thank you so much for this video! I purchased a new zipper pull that was the same shape, # and letter on the backside. Worked perfectly and got it over the stop just like you did. Great video. March 2, 2022

[@conniebibbs2916]

Thank you sooooo much for being soooo thorough in your explanation and demonstration!!!! I thought I was going to have to pay to replace whole zipper when my only problem is the little missing piece that goes up and down. I CAN do this myself! THANK YOU!!!😊🤗💯

[@monashroff4158]

Thankyou . I could fix my jacket zipper as it came out while I was wearing it. You explained very well and I followed your video very closely and fixed it.

[@superkoekje]

Thank you so much for the video! Before I saw this I was still trying to mess with the bottom of my zipper, but when you started talking about the top I actually noticed that THERE WAS A LITTLE GROOVE AT THE TOP STOPPER TO MAKE IT EASIER TO SLIDE A NEW SLIDER ON ^_^' So now I actually understand what I need to do and just have to find the right slider. When I fix it, I will be able to use a great body warmer again! :D Yay!

[@JustMonica402]

Thank you. I literally fought with a zipper that popped off. I was trying to place it on the right side from the bottom - not the top like you showed. And in less than 2 minutes, I got it back on. 🙏🏼

Thank you SO much for this. I have a very expensive leather coat and today the zipper pull/slider cracked. I though I'd have to pay someone to fix it but from your video, I should be able to fix it myself. I think I even have an old zipper or two in my mom's extra button jar to try. :)

Sweet! Made my day. Thought my husband's coat was going to need a new zipper, but I scavenged the slider from the pocket of the same coat as you suggested and it's as good as new. I couldn't get the damaged slider off without removing (destroying) the stops at the top, but I just fashioned my own with needle and thread once the new slider was on.
