Fix for jingly JTOPS zippers?

[GroovyGeek]

Installed a JTOPS sunshade over the weekend. Quality product through and through, once you see it you understand why it is 3x-5x more expensive that most bungee based solutions.

However, there is an extremely annoying quirk - the zipper pulls in the front hang down and jingle as the top flutters in the wind. I tried to mitigate by shoving the zipper pull in the little pocket at the end of the zipper and jamming it with the slider. However that works for all of 15 minutes before the vibration moves the slider enough to allow the zipper pull to fall out.

Are there known solutions to this issue, other than cutting the metal pulls and replacing them with 1mm black paracord or rubberized zipper pulls?

I did exactly what you suggested with the paracord.
