hi

I wondered if someone could advise me on how I can get my zip mended

I have an Outwell Nevada M tent and one of the zips on the mesh doors doesn't work, Its hard to close and when it does close the zipped up part comes open, I dont know why , I can't see any damage, anyone know a solution?

Thanks Kerry

Have you tried silicone spray yet? it helps run the zipper more easily.

Not sure about why it opens up again. Could be the zipper itself that is damaged.

I'm dreading the same problem on my Outwell tent.
It usually means the zip requires replacement.

I've told my wife not to pull the door fabric to open the zip, but to use the zip tab itself. Grrr.

My tent is less than 2 months old, and still has the new smell to it.

Can you look closely at the zip to see any defect?
Maybe it is under warranty?

Regards James

In the beginning there was darkness.
Then I bought a tent.
I'm not destitute, I'm just poor.
