    Zipper Repair Help

    I have a Dutchware gear chameleon that I bought 6 years ago. I reached out to Dutchware and they couldn’t fix the zipper for me but gave me some tips, and a gift card. I used gorilla glue to reattach the slide stop on one side of the zipper.

    But I am having a hard time fixing the other side of it. I tried to glue that too.

    Any tips or ideas? Thank you.

    Look at YouTube for tips on “plastic welding”.
    You can heat up the zipper area and melt in a black zip tie to reattach things. Done right nobody will know.
