Pre-Covid-19 #50: One of my early chores in 2020 - the repair of a favorite rubber hood, the zipper of which had broken. My solution - first cut off the zipper teeth but leave the cloth tape embedded in the rubber. Next, on arrival of the boot lace eyelets shown above, I marked the hood for punching proper sized rivet holes through both the rubber and the remaining zipper tape, the latter providing reinforcement for the rivets of the eyelets. Installing the eyelets using the rivets and pliers was the final step. This hood has remained my favorite rubber hood since then. -- source link
