Repairing an invisible zipper with a Clip&Zip clip-on slider

Do you have an invisible zipper that is sticking or won't close?

With our Clip&Zip clip-on sliders, you can repair your invisible zipper yourself—no sewing required.

We show you step-by-step in this video how to restore the zipper on a laptop bag (or any other accessory).

But first, what exactly is an "invisible" zipper?

It is a spiral nylon zipper that has simply been turned inside out. The teeth are hidden from view when the zipper is closed. You typically find this type of zipper on jackets, bags, and accessories that need to be water-resistant.

Why choose a Clip&Zip slider?

Our Clip&Zip sliders can be installed without any sewing. Simply clip them onto the invisible zipper you need to repair using just the pressure of your fingers.

What you need to complete this tutorial:

• A Clip&Zip slider suited to the type and size of your zipper (nylon, metal, or plastic). To find the right one, please refer to our"Find my slider" page.

• Flat-nose pliers to cut off the old slider.

Let's see how to proceed now...

How to repair an invisible (waterproof) zipper step by step?

1. Cut off the old, damaged slider using pliers.
2. Open the new Clip&Zip slider.

Using your fingers or a thin tool, gently pry the slider apart into two halves.

3. Position the slider over the zipper teeth and snap it into place.

Place it over both rows of teeth, starting where they are perfectly aligned. Make sure the slider is centered.
Press firmly until you hear a click. The slider is now correctly installed and ready to engage the opening and closing mechanism of the invisible zipper.

Test the zipper and zip it up!

Slide the slider up and down to ensure the teeth close properly. And there you have it—your bag is functional again!

Repairing invisible, metal, plastic, or nylon zippers is easy for everyone with Clip&Zip sliders.

A simple step to extend the life of your clothes and accessories while saving money.
