Has anyone had problems with the semi dry scubapro Nova Scotia 7.5mm? the zipper detached from suit. Is possible to fix it with a 3M adhesive or even stiches? i appreciated any ideas, thanks.
 
This one's already two months old, but I'm having that problem now, too. Suit's got 2.5 years with 75 dives, zipper has practically come off over one third of the length. By far not old enough for this massive defect I'd say.
Don't think that Aquasure or whatever DIY action will be a solution, as I guess the rest of the zipper will soon go, too.
Not sure if the super innovative eco-friendly "water-based, 100 per cent solvent-free glue" could be a part of the problem. In case, my nearly 500 quid might have contributed to saving the planet, by me buying a self-destroying suit for them. Feels so right.
I've sent it in to SP customer service, we will see. I'll report back --

I just purchased the Aquaseal, as soon I will received, will let you know. I purchased mine on a high discount price and SP wont replaced it, but I knew an conworker that had same problem and SP replaced it.

Hi there,
To my greater pleasure, SP has exchanged mine at zero costs (for me), sending me a brand new suit. Arrived today, two weeks all in.
My LDS was a bit surprised.
Nothing to moan about!
 
Aquaseal didn't work cause It need to seal neoprene and semi rigid plastic that attach zipper. I will take it to a shoemaker to sew it.
 
I have the same problem. manufacturing defect
