Semi-apologies for the Weird Al lyrics in the thread title, but they popped into my head and I couldn't resist.
Here's the problem: I've got a Bare 5mm wetsuit (great condition but a few years old, definitely out of warranty), and its zipper lost a tooth about six inches down from the neck. Is there any jury-riggable fix for this problem, or is a new zipper the only solution?
If so, does anyone have a guesstimate of how much a replacement costs to get installed? I could contact my LDS, but I'm interested in gathering the hive mind's knowledge right now, and I'm mentally weighing the costs of a new wetsuit vs. repairs.
