Rub a bar of soap across the teeth.  Has the advantage of no
petroleum-based solvents to stain your material.

Ian:

I had a sticking zipper on a tonneau cover and lubricated it with  (if
you can believe it) white lock lubricant.  I do not recall the brand
name.  It worked fairly well, but needed frequent re-application in wet
weather.  It came in a tubular plastic "puffer bottle".

Graphite is usually used for lubricating locks, but I do not believe it
was actually "graphite", but was probably another element that has
similar lubrication capability.
