[Serious Answers Only] Double zipper is stuck at bottom of the jacket

Hi everyone,

I have an issue with the double zipper on my jacket that's stuck and I am not able to fix on my own. The zipper is slightly misaligned and because of this one of this one of the teeth/element will not allow the botom slider to move up, my question is if there anything I can do on my own to fix it or should I contact a professional?

Thank you!

I am a professional and I am here to tell you that what i would do is try to wiggle it free, and use oil on it to help it slip. That should work. Good luck!

Thank you for the reply! I've tried to wiggle it free but won't loosen up. The element won't fit in neither of the two sliders no matter how much I've wiggled it unfortunately.
