The zip of my MSR tent ( Hubba NX) is so tired that it does not shut off anymore. It needs to be replaced.
I have not the fogiest idea where to ask for a quality repair. Any idea?
Thanks

If you take it back to the store you purchased it at they should be able to help.
You could also contact Spelean the importer of MSR and ask for Paul who looks after repairs. He can advice you.

Try what is shown on the video franko posted first. I've repaired a heap of zippers this way from tents to clothing.

Agree. Squeezing the end of the a zipper where the tape comes out closed as in the video fixes it most of the time. My main suggestion here is to locate slide towards the end of the zip so you won't be forcing a lot of separated tape together - this avoids a lot of additional strain on the slider. This will work a couple of times but ultimately it can be necessary to replace the zip slider. Not hard to do and I am sure there is utube video to assist.
