How do I replace a broken zip slider on my Vaude clothing?

Introduction

VAUDE uses premium zips from YKK and other brand name manufacturers. Nevertheless, frequent or improper use can cause the slider to become bent or expand so the teeth no longer zip together.

It only takes a few steps to replace the slider – read on to find out how.

Eine tolle Idee, diese Anleitungen und würde auch gerne mein geliebtes Radtrikot reparieren. Ich habe nur das Problem, dass ich den defekten Schieber von meinem Radtrikot Matera nicht identifizieren kann. Können Sie mir da weiter helfen?

Hallo Rosselba, Prinzipiell steht immer hinten auf den Slidern eine Buchstaben/ Zahlen - Kombi. Anhand der kann man ablesen welcher Slider als Ersatz passen würde.

Links zu den Ersatzteilen könnten besser sein. Komme immer zuerst auf Angebote für neue Kleidung..

Bei ausgeleierten Schiebern hilft es auch oft, diesen an der offenen Seite mit einer Zange leicht zusammenzudrücken. Das hat bei mir schon häufig funktioniert und es geht sehr schnell.

Beste Grüße

Hi

Zipper sliders are available here: https://www.shelby.fi/?cPath=402_31_82

For example the type in pictures: https://www.shelby.fi/product_info.php?p...

Stoppers available here: https://www.shelby.fi/product_info.php?c...

(this one is easier to install than the one in pictured in instructions)

And when zipper has 2 sliders and it is broken due wear (most common), it always lots of sense to replace both upper and lower slider.
