Re: Stormr ZIPPER
The zipper on mine is pretty stiff. Lubing it with parafin helps. Silicon would probably be even better.

Re: Stormr ZIPPER
If you're ever at west marine or golden state, check out Snap Stick. It works like a charm for keeping zippers and and snaps on boat enclosures working smoothly, don't see why it wouldn't work on a foul weather top.

Re: Stormr ZIPPER
I have one as well, haven't had the zipper stick yet but its a little stiff. i wonder if the manufacture recommends a lubricant. As much as they cost I would be a little hesitant to put any thing on it.

Re: Stormr ZIPPER
Zipper wax. When I used to scuba dive had to lub the zipper on my dry suit. Find a dive shop or go online and order zipper wax.
