Zip alternatives

[SeaDave]

Hello

Apologies for the dullest thread ever.

My bimini cover ( you know the bit that you zip around it when it's stored) has terrible zips that have reached the end of their days. Before I take it/send it somwhere is there an alternative that is less prone to salt? I was thinking along the lines of a loop and button arrangement or similar.

If not, know anyone good zip changers? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Velcro?

do you even use the bimini?
If not, why not just take it off.
Shouldnt cost much to change the zip. You can order them from specialists such as pointnorth, or is it northpoint...
Think they are called open ended zips, and then I guess a local dry cleaner could do it for you if they have a sewing machine.

I do use the bimini, yes. It's good if it showers and is also the roof of the camper cabin.

Many thanks for the specialist suggestion (pointnorth) - will order them from there.
