    I just had a look at my Barbour and have 2 slides. If I compare your slide to mine, it appears that yours is the bottom slide for opening up the bottom of the jacket for sitting etc.. The upper slide on mine is for closing the jacket....i don't what's up with Stollery's, but they certainly do Barbour repairs. I don't know what's going on there.

    They said they'll send it away but that it's quite costly.

    Fixed it!

    Big thanks to Steve for pointing out that it was misaligned. Once I knew that, I figured out how to fix it.

    With my sgian dubh and a pair of pliers, I removed the top stops from the zipper near the collar of the jacket, zipped it all the way up and off the teeth, aligned the teeth and zipped it back down. Then I simply replaced the stops.

    Thanks again for the diagnosis, Steve!
