The front zipper may need repair or replacement; the specific failure has not been diagnosed. No claim is made that a pull tab or slider alone will fix it. Operation of the other zippers and adjustments has not been confirmed. Fabric repairs may involve patching, stitching or replacement of affected material. Repair cost and successful restoration are not guaranteed.
