How to Fix a Broken Zipper Slider ... Many ways! 

Lord knows how many jackets were thrown out because of this problem. Thanks for this info!

Thank you!! I just repaired my son's jacket. It saved me a ton of time, not having to add snaps or a new zipper!

Thank you! I needed this so much. You've saved my the process of sewing in a new zipper and nearly 20 minutes time.

I love your channel. This is so timely for me. I tried crimping the slider to be tighter but you are right, this fix didn’t last.

I've watched 8 videos about fixing my coat and this video was the only one that helped. Coat is fixed, thanks.

The slider replacement segment helped me so much, your videos still have an impact even years later and you have a great way of showing and explaining it

Wow, I literally thought my zipper was unsalvageable and I would have to throw out my favourite hoodie. I found this, and replaced my old slider with a slider from another hoodie I have and it worked like a charm! :D Thanks so much!

Thank you very much your short video was extremely helpful. I have a leather jacket that needs a new slider because the pull is missing. I have used a safety pin until I can get a new metal slider fitted. Your knowledge and no BS attitude is a breath of fresh air. 😎🇦🇺👍

Awesome tips!!! Who knew it was possible to fix them in such a logical & easy way!!! Thank bc you!!!

Thank you for this video. An $8 order for parts from Amazon, this video and 10 minutes of my time and I had my jacket fixed.

Three years later and thank you very much for this helped me understand what I should do to fix my sweater

Amazing! Simple, to the point, and extremely helpful. Just repaired an expensive leather jacket with a double zipper pull. The teeth got misaligned when zipped, and wouldn’t allow unzipping. Had to take jacket off like a sweatshirt (George Castanza style 😂). This showed me enough to know how to remove the two pulls, and reassemble them correctly (paid close attention to the orientation of both pulls that came off!). Everything is back to normal now. About a half hour job, zero cost. Thank you!!! 😉

Cool video! Nice, short, and straight to the point.

Thank you very much. Eighty two years old and never knw this. Saved my down jacket from the trash.

Thank you for this clear video! I have a leather jacket that needs this fix, and you’ve given me the tools to fix it myself! ❤❤❤

Went through a lot of zipper vids to find one actually showing how to remove the top zipper stopper. I thought I'd have to buy a special zipper pincer tool from Amazon to pull it off. My $250 North Face jacket's slider got lost, and I wanted to replace it with the slider on an older North Face jacket. Incredibly North Face with not just mail me a slider, no matter how much I beg. You have to go through a long warranty application and repair process, which ultimately ends with mailing them the jacket and being without it for about a month. I hope I can get that top stopper off as easily as you did!

All these years never knew how to do it. I did a temporary slider fix with a small key ring until I can buy a new size 5 stronger slider (if I can't re-purpose and older one). Thanks!

Excellent advice! Thank you 😊 Ordered my new zipper slider No 8👍

Great to learn from you! We can even make some extra money at home doing alterations May God bless you for showing us how to do this type of work.

Thank you my friend I needed to learn how to replace the big part of the zipper! I got so many zipper but it’s hard to find the little metal to clamp it to the jacket, so the zipper doesn’t come off. Thank you so much for your help. I appreciate your help. Thank you again 💛💛💛💛

Hay!!! I got it!!... Finally Thanks! 👍 I wish I came here first it would have saved me a few hours. Lol

Thank you for posting this very helpful video!!!!

I fixed one of my jackets and it worked great. Thanks so much!

Come for the content, stayed for the voice. Soooo smoooth

Brilliant - I have just fixed my son's jacket zip. Thank you so much!

This video was great! Super helpful. That plier bit was definitely cursed though

Great information. Thank you very much!

Thank you. I was one of those fools who left one third of the zipper at the top of the jacket. Great little video.

Thanks for a very information tutorial.

Your video was very helpful. i got as far as removing the sliders and taking off the old zipper, but how do I get the two sides of the zipper teeth to go into the new zipper? I can get one side in easily, but can't get both at the same time when I start from the top. Any tips on how to do this? Thanks.

The quick fix with the pliers was really helpful, thank you!

I really like this video! Thank you for this wonderful explanation :))

That is brilliant Thank you so much for sharing x

nice vid, helped me install my new zipper slider on just fine

Those voices for the pliers earned you a subscriber 🤣 (and of course your useful info as well)

Awesome job.

finally someone who did it the easier top stop removal way

You're the best!! Thank you!

This was so helpful. Thank you!

You are the BEST. Organized, good voice, preparedn well thought out examples. Other videos are assinine. (sp) thank you SOO much. Am subscrining.

Thank you amazing video I think I’ll subscribe and also God bless you and your family !!

Very nice voice over !! Where did you get the slider replacement ? Mine slider is missing so I'll have to try different ones to get the correct fit.

Such a great video and now I know what to do!

Do you use or have a zipper starter box at the bottom of the jacket, or do you just use a stopper? How do you keep the bottom of the zippers together when you zip it up?

You shown us how to zip the one side but how do you get the other side on? I'm replacing it for a case

This is Great ! How do I do this for pants? Plz

Thank you very much... very mar from MOROCCO 🇲🇦

tq very much.very helpful

My "Stopper" (thanks for providing the term) is gone. Hopefully i can find one somewhere.

Wow! You made me a hero for my wife❤

I'm replacing a nylon coil zipper slider on a dress. I can get the slider on, but I can't get the teeth to align and close! I've tried taking off both the top stops and the bottom stop and trying to get them to align from each end. What do I do?

Everything clear till you got to where you actually put the slider on the zipper at the end. This should have been the time to take your time to show clearly and explain what the goal is, to intersect the zipper teeth.

Worked perfectly.

worked great! TY!!

Thanks for the simple explanation of how to replace the slider. Now I can save my son's hoodie from being discarded!

What is the reason that the zipper’s teeth’s are not closing when you change the slider? I don’t know which size I needed because I lost the old one, but I tried a lot of them.

Thank you 💜💜💜💜

Appreciate the info about zippers.

Thank you 🙏 for your video it worked extremely well

Hello. What if the insertion pin (the left side that slides into the slider) was torn off? I purchased a bunch of different sizes on Amazon but none of them seem to fit the slider I have on my jacket.

Great video! Only thing that wasn't clear to me was removing the stopper, it's hard to see what you did - I put the pliers on the top and on one edge and squished it until it popped off.

I lost the slider on my lightweight bathrobe, which has a separating zipper. The box/retainer pin you feed the zipper insert pin into broke and the slide fell completely off. All I could find was a broken part of the box/retainer pin. So not only do I not have the size I don't even have the other necessary parts to fix it. Where can I get a new box/retainer pin and slider?

hi, i wash my newly bought jacket today & i noticed the jacket glider separated from the jacket what should i do? i'm so bummed out cause i just bought the jacket

Great idea.

Wow thats amazing from 500 subscribers to almost 30.000 subscribers in just a year

Thank you! Question: How do I know the size if the slider is missing?

Hi! Where do you get the stoppers from?

This is great very accurate

very helpful, thanks

Helpful. Thanks,. 😁👍

My pull on the slider broke off and has been that way for awhile. Then one day the slider actually came off. I placed it back on but I accidentally placed it on backwards. So it’ll go up but won’t come back down. Do I have to break off the slider to get it back off? Or is there an easy way to get it off? Edited: backwards meaning it should be on the right side of the jacket since I am a male but now is on the left side of the jacket. So the pull is now on the inside of the jacket if you understand.

Wait so how can we see in depth how to squeeze the stopper off? And why is it necessary to replace the zipper head? Seems so easy but a lil too fast I'm afraid I'll squeeze with the cutter and break it all together

Thank you

How do I fix a zipper on something like a bag where i cant access the stop/top and the zipper teeth need to join at the start?

Very nicely explained and to the point. I will try it on my granddaughter's hoodie. By the way I like how you are wearing your scarf. Can you show how you did it? 😊

GREAT CONTENT 👍🏾 👍🏾

The pull goes up on my jacket, however, the teeth don’t overlap! I’ve tried etching charcoal on the zip but no luck.

useful video , thanks

I’m having a problem with some jeans that have a metal line, but a crown shaped zipper and the teeth keeps coming apart, could it be because the zipper is wrong??

Omg I just fixed my very 1st zipper without mangling it to death. I DID IT MA. I DID IT....

Muchas gracias.

Muy bueno gracias .

Thank you very much for your video. I thought my zipper was broken on my rain jacket after having washed it. It turns out the jacket has two sliders - one to unzip the bottom and one to zip up the top.

My zipper says “75vs” would this be the same size as a 5?

What if my stopper is plastic? I don't think I can take it off. It's like melted into the fabric?

I was mildly annoyed when you said to check the top for the zipper pull...I'm like, when is she gonna get to the real tutorial?? Then I found the pull at the top of both jackets I'm fixing, or should I say, fixed, in about 2 seconds each🤣Thank you for stating the obvious some of us really do need it!🤣👍👍

THANK YOU

I can’t seem to get the new slidder on. Any tips?

I have a heavy duty zipper on a sheepskin jacket, but the slider does not have a number on the back. How do I order a new slider if I don't have a size?

You have beautiful hands.🤗

Im missing the part in the middle of the slider What can i do!!

thanks : )

yassssss thank you :)

My jacket has not slider at all, must have fallen out. How do I know which slider to buy?

Thanks!

Hi video, but finding the right slider for my jacket is a challenge. Maybe you can help. It is a motorcycle jacket and from seeing your video, i think it is a coil zipper on the jacket. The number on the slider is 8C. Can you help me with a seller of this type I would be really great full.

So. The thing at the bottom of my jacket. Where you slide it in to sip up. Is falling off. Is there anything I can do about that. Is my favorite jacket. And they don't mKe it anymore. So if anyone can help thanks.

I find some zipper pulls look the same, but they don’t always fit. I hate replacing a zipper if I don’t have to

The zipper was stuck on the bottom of my $1200 jacket i figured it out thanks

How do you remove the stopper with a plastic stopper?
