Help - my zipper's stuck

[TrogL]

Not that one, the one on my leather jacket.

It will go up just fine. It won't go down. I can see and feel inside and there doesn't appear to be anything stuck in it.

I can't get my jacket off and I'm roasting to death.

Help!!!

1. Take the jacket off like you would a t-shirt.

Unless...it's zipped ALL the way up.

9. OK, so how do I get it back on again?

10. Uh...I dunno...long-range planning is not my strong suit.

Maybe try pulling it back on like a t-shirt? :shrug:

2. Rub a bar of soap on it

3. Vegetable oil

Works if it's just stuck. But sometimes a little part of the metal on the jacket side is out of alignment and you can fix it with pliers.

4. zip up and down

quickly and see if it'll go loose.. otherwise try to smooth out the locks on the zipper...

6. So what's the status? Are you free, or still trapped inside your coat?

n/t

8. I got it off finally

but the zipper's still stuck. I turned the jacket inside out and I can't see anything stuck in the zipper.

[HEyHEY]

7. bwahahaha!

Sounds like karma ;-)

11. Oh, I don't believe it

There's an interlock!

Why in hades would they have a lock on a zipper? The two pins on the the zipper pull are bent a bit and they don't disengage the interlock properly. I got it working with a paperclip.

what will they think of next?
