    • Pull both sides of the fabric sides away from the zipper track.

    • This will ensure no fabric is near the track. Pulling the fabric away may restore functionality if it has gotten stuck in the track. You may need a friend for this so you can work on the zipper in the next step.

A pair of pliers that I believe are called Rebar pliers is easier to use when tightening the glider. That is because the material often is quite thick and a straight nosed plier is held apart by it if the glider is not very big, on the side away from the opening. On the open side it is no problem.
