BigD Report post Posted September 16, 2014 Try Phoenix Tent and Awning on Mcdowell in Phoenix. The have repaired several tent door zippers for me over the past few years. Usually the whole zipper doesn't need replaced. The tab usually wears out and needs replacing. They did my last one 3 weeks ago and it works great again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azgutpile Report post Posted September 16, 2014 How did the zipper break? If it just stopped zipping then you can take some vise grips to the zipper body to re tighten it and also lube the zipper. If everything fell apart, have it replaced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naturegirl Report post Posted September 16, 2014 I started the process of replacing one myself years ago. It was a major pain and I never finished it. I'd recommend hiring someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couestracker Report post Posted September 18, 2014 I hate it when my tent zipper breaks and my pole sticks out! Sorry, couldn't resist that opportunity. Try REI, I've heard they do that kind of stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seldom Drawn Report post Posted September 28, 2014 My zipper had a 6 inch gap and wouldn't move even with pliers, they fixed it for $40 bucks, sweet deal for a $600 dollar tent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
