You’ll need to separate the zipper to make the repair. Nippers are a chunky, plier-like tool that help you make small adjustments.
Zipper tape is the material that the zipper teeth are attached to.
You’ll need a free hand to pull on the actual zipper slider. If you can, try to pull apart both sides of the zipper tape with 1 hand.
Pull the zipper tape in opposite directions and pull on the zipper again if it doesn’t feed back onto the teeth. It may take several tries before this works!
Invisible zipper sliders have a built-in lock on the inside. This lock is what’s preventing the zipper from sliding back onto the teeth.
Pull both sections of tape apart and tug on the zipper tab a few more times if the slider doesn’t reattach at first. Invisible zippers can be finicky, so don’t give up!
It’s okay if the soldered section doesn’t look great. Since it’s an invisible zipper, no one will be able to see it!
