How to Replace a Zipper Slider

In some cases, the issue can be resolved with a simple slider replacement. Here is how to do it:

  1. Locate the metal zipper stopper at the top of the zipper track
  2. Use small pliers to carefully unbend and remove the metal stopper, then set it aside
  3. Slide the old zipper slider off and thread the new one onto the track, making sure it is facing the correct direction
  4. Reattach the metal stopper by bending it back into place with pliers

If you are not comfortable making this repair yourself, many local tailors can assist with replacing the zipper slider.
