HI

Does anyone know where i can get a zipper from to rezip my rear window or what size zipper to use. I have many instructions on how to zip up and re-seal but cant seem to get the right size zipper. Its fiddly but managed to get the zippers on but none of them close the zip.

Thanks

sam

Ideally you need someone who has fitted an OEM replacement screen themselves as the kit includes the required zipper.

I have one but its in storage with my car.

They do occassionaly come up for sale on eBay but for stupid money

TRY THIS LINK

OR - I suspect if you go to a local haberdashery shop you could probably buy a full zip with same fastener and just run it off the end of the new zip.

Hi All

Thx for your responses. I have tried all manner of zips including a continuous coil size 5, if anyone out there has a zip they have used for this purpose then i would be grateful if you could send it to me of course i will reimburse postage and return it promptly. I have contacted a BMW dealer here in guernsey but not very helpful other than they will order a new window for me!!!

Thx hopefully
