Started digging into the repair of the door and track, I really don't see how a proper repair can be accomplished without taking the kitchen cabinets apart to get to the door and fasten the track back to the ceiling at the concealed end of the track. There is no way to raise the door without access via the removed cabinets. And without fastening the track at that end, there will be no support, much like the factory installation. For those who have done this repair, how did you reach the track deep inside the cavity between the cabinets and the shower stall ? I did find a piece of 1x2 wood (cheap a$$ lauan, which has no holding power....it might just as well have been balsawood) above the 1/4" plywood, which is directly above the door track...I wonder what's above this ?

Regards
