BROKEN ZIPPER QUESTION

[wally20]

Zipper broke on my clam yukon yesterday, can a new zipper be put in? If so who and where? House is only 4 years old and in good shape. A new tent is like a $180.

a sewing/shoe repair shop should be able to do it for you at a resonable price.

Go to a camper sales place, they have to replace them on a regular bases in pop up campers.

I have it done by a local guy that makes boat covers.

Go with a wider tooth zipper, and a heavier zipper too.

The wider tooth will chew frost better, and tend not to bust as easily. The price difference at that pint is nominal.

TIP: Lube your zippers on your ice shacks with Chap Stick, it helps them work more easily in the cold, and resists frosting.

Agree with a local boat cover guy.

Have you checked with Clam about replacement? I've had really good luck with their customer service.

any canvas company can do it. Ask for the heaavy duty YK zipper

I broke mine a couple of years ago. Went to a local company that makes custom boat covers. They replace with a heavy two side zipper for $60. I also have the clam with the roll up front door. I agree on the heavy zipper, a camper or boat canvas company should be able to fix you up. Lot cheaper than new canvas.

For what ever reason your email did not make it through cyber-space to my inbox. I do not know if we can name names on the site but the local guy that we use (and is right by you) is

Wally's Upholstery 1/4 mile W of 9/71 junction. New London, MN Wally Abraham 320-354-2615

Hope I dont get into trouble for using his name.
