1, If The Iron Edge On Both Sides Of The Zipper Falls Off. How To Fix It: You Can Fold One End Of A Staple Inward So That It Is Parallel To The Iron Bar And Straighten The Other End. Depending On How Long The Iron Edge Of The Zipper Falls Off, Cut Off The Excess Of The Staple From The Extended End. The Cut Staple Should Be Placed In The Same Place As The Original Iron Edge, With The Back End Placed Under It, Flush With The Bottom Edge Of The Zipper, And The Other End Folded To The Same Point. Then Sew Two Pieces Back And Forth With A Windbreaker Needle With A Locking Stitch, Wrapping The Staple Inside With A Width Equal To The Original Iron Edge; The Bottom Edge Of The Staple Is Sewn With A Tight Zipper, The Seam Is Smooth, And Then Touched With Wax, So That The Maintenance Effect Is Like The Original Iron Edge, Opening And Pulling Freely.
- If The Zipper Lacks Teeth. Description Of Maintenance Method: Pry Open The Teeth Of The Zipper At The Original End With A Tip Or A Photo, Remove Several Teeth, Install Them On The Missing Teeth, And Then Gently Press The Teeth Against The Edge Of The Cloth With The Tip Of The Tip, So That He Can Firmly Bite.
