I really hate the idea of replacing the whole zipper but it may come to that as the sweatshirt is still in great shape. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
You'll need to replace the zipper pull. Separating zippers, like on jackets & coats can be repaired but it's not real easy. You have to take the end stop off & Unsew the end. The separating zippers use a "box end pull". I found this site that explains it in detail....

If you google: "Replacing the zipper pull on jacket" you'll also find some youtube videos on how to do it.
