Has anyone used this on zippers? Like soft top zippers?

I use this on my 06 rubicon unlimited soft top zippers and it works great. It does leave a little white residue on the canvas but nothing that can't be wiped off after spraying. I now spray all zippers a couple times a year and they honestly work like new. From one jeep person to another, buy it. I have not found a better product for keeping my zippers running smoothly.

I've used mine almost every day since receiving it, almost three months ago, and have not had any problems. I love it! Perhaps there is a manufacturing flaw with your zipper.

The zippers seem decent. Whenever I get a new item with any kind of zipper, I take a piece of paraffin wax and wax up the zipper really well. It helps the zipper function and keeps it from deteriorating as well as helps it resist water seepage in the rain. I've had this for over five years and the zippers are still doing great.

As quiet as any zipper I have used. I did not buy it for that reason, but since you asked, I did play with it and have to admit it is pretty quiet for a zipper.

Sarah, I tried to research your machine and find a good picture of it, which wasn't easy, but I believe it uses "short shank, snap on" attachments, in which case this invisible zipper attachment would work. Celeste

wash and dry, I have done it several times. The only negative is the zipper was broken from day one.

Nope, this kit allows you to replace the 'slide' that closes the zipper when you zip the garment. You can find 'pull' replacements on line or in a fabric store.

Yes! We use it that way a lot for sleepovers. It takes a bit of fiddling to get the zipper started back once you've done that, but it does go back on track with no problems.

The top of mine has zipper issues. Since I only use it for my 5 pound dogs, it's not a big deal ... but I am very disappointed that the zippers failed the first weekend out.

I've never had a problem with the zipper but my Dog Haus is about five years old but it is my third one. I love them. The first one had a dog claw a huge hole in the mesh (he can't be kept in any soft crate, but the rest are fine in it). The second one got blown away in a micro storm (big tents ended 40' up in trees...). I've not had an issue with the zipper in any of the three tents, but not sure they still make them of the same quality...

I recommend using some other type of zipper pull. I made mine out of micro paracord-I found the how-to on you tube. Ordered the paracord on Amazon. The best thing about this method is that the pulls are easy to grip. Leather looks cool, but not a good long term solution.

I would NOT use this for leather apparel like jackets, bags, or shoes. Get Leather Honey (or Honey Leather) instead. This feels kinda slippery after application

Hi, we haven't had a problem with zipper, almost a year since my wife bought it. Of course we only put the necessary stuff (laptop 15.6 inch, tablet, cables, keys, agenda, pencils), nothing that could inflate the product and cause a zipper break. We are satisfied with it, and it´s comfortable for your back. I Hope this helps.

Not that I'm aware of. I bought a heavy duty zipper and used a sewing machine. I've been through a couple and the always seem to break.

I did not have a problem with my zipper, BUT having said that it seems all zippers are those tiny plastic ones now and it you're going to take it off once in a while I think getting the 12" deep would be a good 'just in case' solution. Plus, if you got a new mattress at some point you'd probably get a deeper one so you would be a head of the game. At some point (a year from now maybe) I will wash mine in the gentle cycle with cold water to see if it's possible to do.

Mimi is right you can spray it down with the water proofing spray if you desired. I haven't and it works well in humid areas and wet rainy weather. Granted I would at least hang it up to keep it off the ground. All zipper areas have an over stitch, or a length of material that has been created to cover and protect all the zipper without problem. Would I trust it on a fain filled weekend. Yes, but like Mimi, I would spray it to be doubly sure
