Clanging Zip on PopTop

[Crallc]

Hi all, I had my poptop up yesterday and it was a little breezy, the zips on the windows were very annoying (clanging). I put some electrical tape on them but didn't help much. See pics as I couldn't uploads video. Couldn't see a thread asking this but surly I can't be the first...? Anyway, i was wondering if anyone has came up with any innovative ideas to stop the clanging zips?

Yes, I’ve seen a post with a really innovative way to stop the zips from rattling.

Unfortunately I can’t remember what the solution was or find the post on here.

Be careful with a heat gun near that poptop fabric though or you’ll have bigger problems than a noisy zip!

A blob of Sugru should do the trick

Open the zips a little.

It’s fab stuff. I’ve used it on most of my phone cables, made hooks for things, formed razor holders inside cabinets etc.
