Rebel Flash Problem?

[Drac]

My new Rebel's flash doesn't close "positively", that is once closed it can be pushed down slightly (1/32 of an inch(?)).

Is this common to Rebels or do I need to take it in for repairs?

Do you mean the Canon Rebel film camera, or do you mean the Canon Digital Rebel?

I mean the digital Rebel

Most of these snap down correctly the first time.

I don't know. Has that camera been bumped on top?

Every Drebel/300D I have seen you can push the popup flash down a small amount when it is in its closed position similar to how you describe - so its either a very common problem or (more likely) just 'normal' :)
