Are you saying the zipper is stuck or are you saying its separating from the door on the seam?

Take the whole thing inside where it's warm and lube it up with a bar of soap. I have to do this about about every four or five times I take out my back window because it does the same thing. The teeth are slowly getting back to not missing.

I tried to respond to this yesterday, but couldn't get logged in (everything worked up to the redirecting, and then the page where it says to log in popped up. Weird.). Anyway to the question, I don't know how old your zippers are or what condition they're in, but I had a similar situation and I was able to make my uppers last a little longer by rubbing wax into the zipper. The wax I used was cutting wax for a band saw. I'm sure canning (?) wax would work as well. As mentioned above, if you can, do it inside a warm environment. Good luck.

X5 on the cleaning and lubing.
Take the stuff inside and CLEAN IT, soap and water with a brush, clean those teeth out. Jeep/Mopar has a small bottle of zipper lube that is pretty good, it has an applicator brush, just squeeze the bottle and brush it on, then work the zippers inside where it's warm then with the zippers all nice and sealed apply some more of that zipper lube. Should be good for the winter after that.
And don't use paper towels on the plastic windows either, it scratches, paper=wood fibers.
