Yes, not uncommon. There is a repair kit to fix, though most dealers insist there is not...

Have a little search on the site as said, if you need further help, just let us know :y

Update your profile with car and location - someone local may be able to help ;)

Mine had the same problem, and I repaired it as mentioned in the above posts. You'll probably find the mechanism is lying in the bottom of the door once you take the door card off, that's where mine was.
