Legend. Helped me fix a jacket that I was told couldn't be fixed without replacing the entire zipper (restiching etc.). Simple process after watching your video. Took me all of 5 minutes (taking a zipper puller from one of the unused jacket pockets) and jacket is good to go. Thank you!

If the slider's puller broke you can replace the slider with a brand new one or use something like a Zipper Pull Tab and feed it through the part of the slider (if still in good condition) that used to hold the broken puller. Here is a link: www.sailrite.com/Zipper-Pull-Tab-White

Why dont you just pull out one of the teeth then slide the toggle back on. Then do a couple stitches where you pulled the tooth out and the toggle wont come off. I have been doing it this way for years work so good and you dont have the zip fraying at the top just stitch into facing as usual.
