Hi, one if my windows zippers is stuck frozen.
I tried spraying some wd40 on it but still won't budge?
Dies anyone know of a good way to try and remove the zipper?
It's stuck and won't move an inch?

Thanks for the reply.
The part that's stuck is what I believe you are calling the slider.
It's the part with the tab on it that you grad and slide to pull the teeth together on the canvas part of the zipper.
I never thought about someone smashing it to fix, that could be it as it won't budge.
I will try to open up the slider and see if it frees up
Thanks!

I have an issue with my 2007 rockwood freedom1910 where one of the zippers around the riser units, the slider, zipper head has fallen off completely and broke in half. So I have been looking online, and trying to find a place to order one, or if I have to go to a rockwood reseller.

Sorry to have to repost, on your post still learning how this site works.

Thanks!!

I finally had a chance to check mine this past weekend and I tried to pry mine open to see if it would budge but no luck.
So I had to take a pair of pliers and pointy wire snips and basically brake the slider in half to remove.
I also now have to purchase a new slider and not sure where to buy?

I tried a google search and turns out you can find them on the big auction site and also amaz0n

I am going to try my local Joann's fabrics and see if they have them in stock, looks like they have several different sizes so I think the hardest part will be matching up the size

I also have a zipper that's stuck. I can unzip all the way, but it won't come out of where the bottoms latch together. Won't pull out of there. I tugged on it pretty good today and still no go. Would like to get this open as it's the big window that goes along the whole back wall of the camper.
