What is a zip protector for full/Combo covers
On our full covers in the leg section we have a zip that runs up the front of the leg (closest to the boat) 90% of the time these zip are safe from stones and rocks being flicked up by either the boat's trailer or the towing vehicle. However, of course if you do a lot of towing on dirt roads or live in a remote location and have a long distance to tow we would recommend that you get our zip protector as an option.
The zip protector is exactly what is says, it protects the teeth of the zip from being broken by flying stones or rocks. What we do is sew a full flap over the top of the zip that covers it totally. It is very time consumer to do this and we believe the cost of only $15 is worth it's weight in gold.
To get a zip replaced is not a cheap exercise when you have to spend the money paying for shipping both ways and then the time to replace the zip which is normally about $20. Zips are not covered under our warranty because of this reason, it is no-ones fault that the zip gets hit by a stone and the tooth gets taken out making the zip useless.
