How do I repair a two-way zip slider on my Vaude jacket on a split zip?

Introduction

A two-way zip (two sliders for opening the zip from either the top or the bottom) can sometimes create a split zip where the teeth no longer align with each other. We’ll show you how to fix this in just a few easy steps.

What you need

    • Carefully open the zip using the seam ripper.

    • Guide the slider back onto the end of the zip.

    • Pull the lower slider up a bit so that there’s an “opening” between the two sliders.

Super, es hat funktioniert. Mein Mann kann jetzt wieder seine teure Cashmere Jacke tragen.

Danke schön.

Es hat geklappt. Es war etwas verzwickt, vielleicht weil es ein Metall RV war. Ich wollte schon aufgeben, aber beim 6. Mal war er dann doch offen!

Vielen Dank, ich wollte die Jacke schon umtauschen, das wäre schade gewesen.
