Open the wrong closed zipper again

Zipper (abbreviated RV) wrong (offset) closed, can not be opened?

Here is my tip: The part of the RV, which is used in the slide (slide open and close) before closing - and after an incorrect operation can not be pulled out - lift out of the slide.

How does it work? Carefully spread the side of the slide with the pull-out part of the slide in any position with the help of a pair of pliers so that the jammed part of the slide can be removed. Subsequently, with a flat pliers or combination pliers compress the carriage again so far, the removed zippered part can be easily inserted and moved back into the basic position.

Caution: If the carriage is spread too much, it will break apart! See also the following pictures!
