Have you confirmed the alignment of the lead/end part of the open-side of the zip, with the closed/slider side.?
Getting the first bit aligned properly it vital.
Whether it's a metal or nylon zip, a bit of lubricating spray will help get the two sides going.
You may need to get a hairdryer (or heat gun if you're very, very careful) to warm-up the cover to allow it to stretch into position, if it's gone stiff in the garage whilst you've not been using it.?
Don't force it, ease it.
Forcing the zipper is likely to tear the stitching &/or the vinyl.
Best of luck.

There is no fix.
The top has to be installed and pulled back along the sides so you have minimal gap at the zippers.
You can also get a new top.

It can be repaired, but take into account the condition of the existing window. If it's starting to yellow or shows signs of small cracks or clouding your better off replaing it.
Testimonial: "Thanks for the quick response. "
You should be able to pop the unaligned teeth apart with a pair of needle nose pliers. You will then be able to zip over them.
