so after doing some minor repairs on my sunroof motor (the gear box was loose and the sunroof was closing crooked) the headliner zipper has decided to part ways. That is, the zipper slider came detached from one of the rows of teeth. Safety pins are holding it together right now, otherwise i wouldn't be able to see out the back!
Anyone have a degree in zipperology that knows how to get this thing back together? (i've tried and failed).

Zipper repair advice ? I'm your man , I'm factory trained .
The zipper has two ends , you need to start at bottom and feed the two sides of the zipper into the slider bit .
If you can't get it done , find a seamstress / tailor to work on the zipper in your car .

Indy you are truly a man of many talents (and surprises).
If i can't get it back together i might have to break down and ask the wife - she does that sewing stuff sometimes. just what she wants to do - work on my car.

Lube it real good and then move it forwards and backwards lightly until it starts to go ?
