Rub a candle up and down the zip if it's just stiff.

its the zip thing thats stiff not the whole zip you no the actual zip where you do it up its soooooo anoying

i no what i meen i just cant explain it

Don't use WD40!! (Sorry, Twiglet) It can stain the fabric and ruin the waterproofing. Get an HB pencil and run it up and down the teeth of the zip. You could also try sharpening just the tip of the pencil so that you only get black dust, and no wood-flakes, and then pouring the dust into the zip-bit (I think I know what you mean, but I also don't know what it's called! ). If you get the dust ontothe fabric, hoover it off, don't brush it.
