The door is suspended from the rail on a couple of nylon mounts that have a small lever. Moving the lever allows the mount to drop out of the track. It's about a 90 degree movement. You'll see it once you get the wood trim away from the track in the passageway over the stairs. In our rig that piece of wood is in the bedroom side of the door. It sounds complicated but once you see it you will find it's pretty simple.

Those same nylon mounts are also adjustable to level the door in the track.

The track is only held in with screws. In our rig they used a total of 4 small 1" long screws. The door fell into the basement on the first day we moved. The solution was to install about five 2"+ screws so they had more support in the roof support. So far so good.
