Just had a plastic zipper slider on the cam opening of my Severne Mach3 break; just pulled apart while unzipping. Not impressed with a sail that is about 6mths old; anyone have an easy fix?
(Sorry if this has been covered before. )
Cheers, Mikey

if you ca, un-zip it, then while the slider is at the start position, give it a little squeeze with a pair of needle nose pliers, some times they open just a little and need a squeeze shut.

Zipper teeth ok. Just the 'slider' broke. (YKK 5vs)

Tnx Chocco. Saw those and ran it past a mate in the know. Apparently they are for 'spiral' zippers and Severne one is 'chunky'. Hopefully have tracked one down.
