Zipper repair solution CXL D Pocket Schott

[mboon85]

I just noticed this on my CXL D Pocket Schott/Context collab. The guiding rod on the left side has slipped off. Can something be attached right in there? I called a few luggage places where no one spoke english and was told i needed a whole new zipper. I'd prefer not sending it back to Schott for a total zipper replacement - but will if i have to.

Anyone have a jacket with the zipper replaced by schott or vanson? I'd like to see what the stitch looks like...

i suspect this will be one of those seemingly simple issues but in actuality becomes an infuriating fiasco.
