The link in Step 5 for the slider replacement guide is incorrect. It points to a Powerbook HD replacement guide. TG.

What if there's no reason other than one side of the slider came off?

What about if the zipper zips up but the teeth do not keep closed. I.e. zip up the jacket, part of the teeth stay interlocked but from one point on the teeth become undone and do not lock.

That's an issue with the zipper slider itself and I have experience fixing it. It's difficult to maneuver the tool because of fabric in the way and it's in a generally awkward spot but possible. Take needle pliers and squeeze down *a little bit* on the back of the zipper slider itself. Doesn't need too much of an adjustment, so squeeze a little and check, and squeeze a little and check. It's the small end of the zipper slider.

I have the same problem as Juan Umana: one tooth at the bottom (beginning) of the zipper is broken off, so the teeth won’t mesh properly and the zipper teeth stay apart. Ideas welcome.
