BMW tank bag Multivario, corroded, locked zipper solved
« on: February 13, 2024, 10:26:18 PM »
Hi!
after lot's of time on the drawer, one of the zippers of my multivario tank bag was frozen solid......
Anyway, i applied force, lateral movements, isopropil alcohol, w40, water, etc and no way.
Yesterday i solved the problem, by dipping the zipper in a hot water mixed with vinegar and baking soda, for 12 hours, brushing it with a toothbrush times to times.
After the 12 hs inmersion, i picked a flat screwdriver and a small hammer and i hit  the base of the zipper in both  direction it should move.
After some hits, it becomes to move, and alternating hits in both directions, and tooth brush, i arrive to free it.
It worthed the pain!!
some pictuers here
Thanks!
