The bottom stop of MH Ghost Whisperer has broken off so the zipper separates from the bottom up when it’s zipped. Does anyone know how to easily repair this? There are kits you can buy online but I’m not even sure if the zipper stops would fit. It’s a YKK3C zipper and the stop is glued on pretty well. Zipper

I just looked at that REI document, good info

I think it says if the bottom stop is broken, as Adam G is reporting, the only solution is to replace the zipper.

That’s what I was thinking – hard to replace the bottom stop, but I was watching to see if anyone has a better solution
