I bought a used soft top right after I bought my TJ with a hard top a few months ago. I got the top home and went to install it only to realize that the rear window was missing the zipper sliders. I ordered a couple YKK #10 sliders thinking my problem would be solved. When I tried to install them I entered a corner of hell no one had told me about... WINDOW ZIPPER PROBLEMS... what a nightmare..I tried soap, I tried WD-40, I ordered different sliders all with no luck. I fought that zipper like George Castanza and his therapist (Seinfeld reference) I spent hours trying to align teeth, gave up, and put the hard top back on.
After I let the severe disappointment and frustration fade I thought I'd give it one more go with a product I found while googling - FixNZip - ..... I had little hope but had nothing better to do on a Sunday than switch tops. Once I got the FixNZip started on the left side...it just felt different. I easily pulled it up, across the top and down...I was amazed. I had finally won the war!
If you're having trouble with the teeth not meshing give this product a try. My zipper didn't have missing or severely damaged teeth. The teeth would not mesh every few inches and once zipped it could easily be pulled apart. I got a great deal on this top and I'm so glad I can put it to use. Hope this can help anyone else.
