Zipper repair?

[criticalbass]

I have a ground blind whose door zipper has gotten to where it opens behind the zipper handle sometimes.

Is there any practical remedy, and if not, does anybody know who in the OKC area can fix or replace it? CB

Same thing happened to mine. I took it to a shop that recovers upolstery and does car seats etc. They replaced it with a metal zipper that lasts lots longer.
I'm sure there are lots of places like that in OKC.

Is it just not meshing behind the zipper head, or is it just coming open sometime after the fact?

Once it starts working it stays zipped, but that's a sometime thing, and even when it works, there is an open place close to th e bottom of the door.

The tail end of the zipper head may be coming apart... you might give it a squeeze with some pliers.
