call them back or bring it to a burton dealer. i know north face has a lifetime warranty on all jacket parts, so some companies do fix it for free

bring a photo copy of the receipt, take it to a burton dealer.  They'll send it out.  If its under warranty they fix it and you pay shipping

no way, my bro's burton jacket did that too.  Like on the actual zipper a piece of metal broke off so the tab that you pull just fell off.  Pretty weak if it's happening to multiple people.

if you bought it from a local shop take it back to them and they should be able to handle the warranty junk for you. we've had 2 burton jackets this year come back with snapped off zippers and my shop owner personally took care of them with burton.

if you got it online try emailing them too if they dont pick up the phone.
