Default Sunbrella zippers

The zippers on our new cart are very stiff (I know it is cold right now but still ----!). Does anyone have a safe spray or coating (that they have tried) that can be applied to the zippers to make them operate smoother?

Thanks,

Barry, when I bought my 2010 cart, the service individual said to use vasaline. Now try to figure out who I am.

I always keep a can of spray silicon. There is no odor and works well on things like zippers, hinges, rubber seals, etc.
We have also used chap stick on the zippers. Bees wax is also good if you can still find it.

p.s. don't use the wd-40 silicon spray.......it works good but has that wd-40 odor.

I've found a little finger-pinch skin does wonders.
