Hi guys i change the hood of my car today but i had to change the zip window as there was a hole in the window of the new hood.

i unzipped it, took the new window out but i couldnt zip the new window in.. i dont have a zip for the window so i tried using a jumper zip but the teeth were not closing..

i need help as i dont have a window on the car..

any one??

do i need a special zip? do zips come in different sizes?

Zips ARE different sizes!
I put my new window in a couple of months ago.

Depending on how long you are prepared to wait, there s this guy in the states, where I got my zip/slider kit from.
Took about 10 days

If you email him, he should be able to supply you with the zip-kit.
