it's happened to me yes

Way to change is wind it all the way back (even though there is no glass) when back the furthest it can go undo all the screws you can see and the 2 winder screws inside the car...

When all of them are undone slide the whole thing out up and out forwards. The runners and everything will come out in one go...

To replace it get a new glass/runners in one bit as it's a lot easier.

just when replacing the runner etc place it in the way you took it out

Good luck
