Hello JoMontana

When our Biscaya was new we sometimes had a problem with this.  You need to make sure that you push the straight bit of the zip (I'm sure there is a technical name for this) right into the runner also make sure the runner is right back at its stop. It does get easier with use. Bending the two zip ends on the groundsheet inwards also used to help. good luck.

Hi Jo.

        Like Ann describes there is a little technique, hard to describe, but gets easy after time, fact is the zips are very heavy duty YKK jobbies, which is about as good as it gets, I do carry a tin of zip lube, (no jokes please), but as yet never had to use it on my Biscaya's ZiG/ZiP, we always start the zip's of from the front/doorway, working on the outside of the tent, not sure if you can do them from the back to front, never tried. also we have the smaller 370 so less zip action going on, which probably makes attaching the ZiG easiar than on the 440.
