How to Repair a Plastic Zipper
- 1). Locate the defective area of the plastic zipper. Align both sides of the zipper together and use a flathead screwdriver to insert each tooth of the zipper into its mate.
- 2). Pull the zipper slider slowly over the uneven area and up to the top of the zipper.
- 3). Sew across the area where the defect is several times to prevent the problem form occurring again. Make a few big stitches across the uneven area with a hand sewing needle. Pull the slider up and down until your plastic zipper slides smoothly again.
