This is the 3rd year for the pod and dome. The bottom 6in of the front zipper is not closing (fastening). Would silicone spray help, wax is used for metal zippers but not sure if it would work on a plastic zipper. Am I looking at putting in a new zipper? The dome is not stretched as to put pressure on the zipper and make it pull apart. North of 49 we have a lot of mosquito's, black flies, deer flies so the dome is used a lot and the front zipper is 99% of the time opened and closed a lot. Any comments welcomed..  ------------- Ron & Shirley 2020 Tacoma 2012 177 rpod |

We had a similar problem a year or so ago and Melissa used either wax or soap and it cleared the problem right up. The silicone spray would get messy. ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

Ok thanks Leo, I'll try soap first and see how it goes. ------------- Ron & Shirley 2020 Tacoma 2012 177 rpod |
