Hi. My cabin zip on the door has broken. Does anyone have any advice - do I need to remove the entire cabin canvas. It's a 1994 Fiesta. It makes me wonder if it will be worth the bother and expense

Many thanks

Hi jax, not sure which part of the country you are from ,but have you tried a search for tent repairs in your local area? Many companies will sew you a new zip on that does not cost the earth .T.V.S from Bolton  provide a very good service ,but it depends where you live .I had a new door zip fitted on a huge trailer tent ,where the awning was part of the main canvas and found it quite a straight forward job to do .Take a few photos, and mark up with little tape tags to make it easier to put back ,but it,s only a few ties and presstuds .Find a local company give them a ring ,they may take the canvas off ,fit the zip and put it back on for you.

  hope this helps GCB

We recently had our pennine fiesta door zip repaired at a cost of £60 at Kingswood canvas in Bristol. They also replaced the zip on an annexe for a further £60 . It was really well done and a good price (having shopped around) .

I also had the zip replaced for on our Fiesta for £60 by Under Cover, based in Shirley, Southampton.

Yes, the whole canvas needs to come off, but that's not really more than a 20-minute job.
