Zipper Fixing

The first way a zipper dies is usually by not fully zipping the two halves together.
Then the zipper separates when the slider is in the up position.
Then you get the garment for free.


Wrestle the zipper apart by whatever means won't cause permanent damage.
Then take a pair of pliers and carefully pinch the base of the slider together as shown.
Just bend it a little.
The zipper will now work perfectly.
