    07 Unlimited zipper thread

    does any one know how to fix, or get parts to fix a zipper on the back window of a jeep. i called the dealer and they are telling me i can only buy a new top. there is no way to order the parts need to fix this. the only thing that broke was the little metal zipper pull, the zipper and window are fine but i cant for the life of me justify spending almost a grand for a top to fix a 3 dollar part any ideas or does any body have an old ripped top they kept that they would be willing to sell?

    PS. i tried the craft store route but they dont sell zippers that big.

    what the name of the shop? im willing to try anything. its hard to travel with the baby in the back because the cold air keeps coming through the window i have to blast the heat in order the create a positve airflow and prevent cold air from coming in.....lol

    do you know if he's able to add teeth to zippers?

    one of my zips has two teeth missing (BesTop makes the jeep tops, if toyota would have it would still be fine methinks) and it can get quite annoying since it doesnt zip easily.
