zipper replacement

[chunkytrunks]

I'm looking to get my rear window zipper replaced.

Anyone have any recommendations?

I am hoping for a same day repair if possible and cheap.

I know autowa upholstery does good work. Anyone else?

What is wrong with it? Is it coming off, not staying together?

I bring my work bags to shoe repair shops. They are used to working with thicker materials. Won't be same day, but might be cheaper.

Anywhere that repairs boat tops or camper canvas should be able to fix it.

this is the most common answer to this question on any tread and any forum in the world. Unfortunately not very helpful.

The zipper won't stay together and gets jammed up bad to a point to where it impossible to get back up lol

The wrest of the top is in good shape so I don't want to replace it.

Good news, I had the same thing. It is the metal part opening up. Take a wrench and clamp them down again. Also I picked up a zipper lube from the dive shop on Merivale and Hunt Club. Oh did you want me to bring your Control Arms? Did you want the uppers as well?

The house on March Rd. at the end of Marchurst does boat top repairs. He did a good job patching my soft top after the roll in Moab.

Thanks Richard I knew he did boat tops but want sure if he would get into jeeps or not since it's just a side business.

I did what Chris suggested and just took pliers to the zipper and it is all good again!

Thanks everyone
