My luggage slider/zipper pull broke completely off the zipper. Anyone know someone who would repair that type of thing?

I know this is random but TIA.

Take the slidey zipper piece and force it back on from the top of the zipper. It's not hard.

This.

Or just let Travelpro replace the pull under their warranty.

Shoe repair shop is the correct answer. Only thing you can do is replace the zipper.

That doesn't work. Once that piece breaks and it comes off it will never stay on there under normal use.

LINK

Backpacker has instructions for how to do it yourself. Click the link, search for zipper repair.
You can order replacement parts from amazon prime.

Don't be such a fat arse that you're blowing out the zippers.

Your mom is pretty handy with a zipper. Ask her.
