Yep. Mine too. Slide off the rubber boot. I'll bet it won't happen 
anymore. Ok, so you don't want a naked lever. Then do this: the door side 
carpet is higher than the seat side. It's the boot snagging the carpet that 
gives the problem. So, when you grab the booted lever, give the boot a 
slight inward twist, so the bottom edge of the boot rotates toward the seat. 
It will clear better. If that's not enough, double click it: go as far down 
as it will go, then release the button. Press it in again and you'll find it 
can be pressed down another click. Provided you rotated the boot inward. 
Mine used to do this all the time 'til I figured this out!
