I have 2 good hooded sweat shirts I wear for working and running. Both have those nylon zippers. They kept coming open. So I ckd web. Thinking velcro etc. One guy is selling a zipper replacement, the part with the pull. Anyway started reading more,one woman said take a pair of pliers and squeeze the open side of the pull,mine is metal. So I did, almost shut. I Closed zipper.So far I tried pulling open zipper,nope.So far good. Now my zipper tracks are good. Hope this works for you.

I appreciate this tidbit of info. Have a nylon jacket that had the same problem . Applied this "fix" and BINGO!....fixed..

Yes frustrated for yrs with 2 zippers. Got the one fixed other slider is now missing,soo find a slider. I couldn't believe a simple squeeze would fix it.Wearing sweatshirt everyday now,cold. Hasnt separated,'yet' so I'll see.

I'm amazed it's still working. I use it 5 days aweek.

Depending on the zipper, the pulls can be made out of some sort of pot metal that will snap and break if you try squeezing them, so proceed carefully.

Yes. I squeezed mine very gingerly. Not to be goofy but if it's not working it cant be worse broke. Just find another metal zipper and replace. I'm still amazed another week of use. I had given up using this hooded sweat shirt.
