When the teeth of the zipper don't mesh and the zipper doesn't stay zipped is an indication of the slide gradually spreading apart so it needs to be gently pinched together or replaced. You might want to try that first...nothing to lose and possibly something to gain. The next step would be to snip the tape holding the teeth, remove the slide, replace a new slide and stitch the tape.

Don't really want to send it to Wash. for such a simple repair.That has been the only suggestion I have gotten from backpacking stores around here.Marmot
