Does this repair kit work on metal zippers?

Yes. I have used this repair kit on a couple of zippers now, both metal and nylon, and it is really easy to use, has easy to follow instructions and is well worth the money for the garments I have saved.

Slider is broken on a jacket with a small tooth nylon zipper. How do I get the new slider onto the already sewn on zipper?

If the top stop is a small metal clip, then it can be pried apart with a small screwdriver and clamped back after with a pair of needle nose pliers. If the top stop is a molded nylon stop, then use a file or a pair of diagonal cutters to get rid of the little nubs that prevent the slider from coming off. After, use a small knife to cut a little groove on the side of the top stop and then use needle and thread to wrap a few lines around the stop. This will serve the same function as the removed nubs. Follow with a drop of Krazy Glue on the thread to harden it.

does this work with Columbia fleece?

The fleece has no bearing on the parts you may need replaced zippers are metal, plastic or nylon and that's what should match to the repair kit. . I am assuming the zipper you have in the fleece vest or jacket is plastic #5 for which the metal kit may not be what you are looking for.

What colors are the replacement sliders?

In my kit the 3mm nylon coil ones are silver, the 4.5mm metal tooth ones are gold colored, the 5mm plastic tooth sliders are black, and the 5mm metal tooth sliders are a dull brass color.
