    Thanks for the info.

    Just successfully fitted a new puller that i had lying around in the garage. Its not quite the right size but it works perfectky well. Was relativly easy, only re-stitching the end of the zip was fiddly in such a cramped space.

    i'll take the old one to the market to get some spares the next time im in town.

    Makes me feel a lot happier knowing i can use it properly and conserve the rear window.
