Rear window zipper broken
Hi can anyone point me in the right direction? I have pulled my zipper off the back window of my MG TF 2004 model and can't get it to go on and close... Is there someone that can come out to my place in Devon to do a fix on this? Or a garage near Okehampton?

Un-clip the hood front and back first to release the tension.
You can pry open the sides of the metal closer ( i use a large flat end screwdriver) enough so it fits over the teeth. Go gently as the closer is only made of soft metal and may snap. Then close it using pliers
