Old thread, but it may help to know that I had some success with Gorilla Glue on both the zipper and the wheels. I've had to redo the wheels but it held up longer than the original. For the zipper, I glued and clamped it a foot or 2 at a time. For the wheels, just glue it right into the pocket, up against the fabric as much as possible. I don't think I'd buy this bag again.
