        This is a simple kit with good instructions. Fixing my hiking coat zipprt was
        done in 2 minutes. Everyone should have one of these kits on hand.
        The vendor also has a "clothing kit" as well as an "outdoor kit".

                                        I am usually pretty sceptical regarding advertisements but this product lived up to everything it claimed. Was easy to use, directions were well written. Found the perfect size zipper and repaired the tent in what amounted to a matter of minutes. I was totally impressed and will purchase again if/when needed.

                                          I have a sleeping bag that is missing the slider. The zipper is a 5mm YYK coil, but the bag is over 20 years old, and according to the manufacturer (YKK) their product line has changed, and their currently manufactured sliders will not work with this older zipper. Will your repair kit work with the older zipper?

                                            Unfortunately the 5mm coil in the kit will fit current YKK products not 20 year old product. You may need to have the zipper replaced with a current 5mm coil from YKK.

                                          How do I tell what the size of the slider is on the YKK zipper on my tent door? The slider is a double pull slider. On the front of the slider there is what appears to be an "8" or "B" and a "C" which is possibly a "0".

                                            It is an 8 and the C refers to coil.

                                            If you are referring to a clothing fly, this is not the appropriate kit. A kit for clothing zippers would be better.

                                            If the pin is missing the zipper repair kit will not help. You need a new zipper sewn in.

                                          will this fix the zipper on the eureka 4L timberline tent going from the bottom right to the apex of the tent door? How does it work given the existing slider just goes up and down without engaging.... will the existing slider stay on "below or above" the new slider?

                                            This will provide you with new slider and instructions on how to attach it to the existing zipper.

                                            This kit has 4 differrent size sliders so it should work with a variety of zippers. You need to match the size to the existing slider on your bag.

                                            ZRK-Zipper Rescue Kit Zipper Rescue Kit would work on most tents. The instructions are pretty simple to follow.
