How To Replace Broken Zipper Slider | Aero Leather Jacket

In this video, I show the complete start to finish process for replacing the zipper slider on my Aero Leathers Highwayman. I was a complete beginner approaching this task. In what I feel is a great customer service stance, Aero Leathers will send a replacement slider if yours breaks. In my case, the pull tab on the slider was completely pulled off by the previous owner. The area at the base of the jacket where two layers of thick leather come together creates a bottleneck over the zipper. Hasty zipping without care, or pulling at the end of the pull tab rather than the base are the two most likely reasons for the break. Each step took longer than I hoped, but in the end I replaced the zipper slider and the jacket zips now! Taking a little time and holding the pull tab at the base made for a smooth zip. Thanks to Denny at Aero for great customer service! 00:00 Introduction 00:30 What's In the Replacement Kit 02:05 Removing the Top Stop 05:10 Removing Old Slider 06:06 Putting New Slider On 11:28 Placing New Top Stop 12:25 Zip Test 13:43 The Final Zip!
