   Naaa dont take it to a garage! Itll be a metal "U" shaped sort of clip that has popped out of its clips. Try to find it and put it back in or if not, a cable tie can work just as well

   Here you can see the "U" shaped metal clip that has come out! If you take the door card off etc then you can get inside of the door itself and should be able to find it

   If you look on this pic, the "U" shaped bit goes into that clip directly behind it
