Opening/Closing divider door

Hi All,

Following on from my successful query with regards to my mover, I'm back.

I have an Abbey Aventura 316

It has a rear seating/bedding area which can be closed off with a pull across door.

The door will pull across by the width of the first panel, but the second panel will not move., so the door only comes 2/3rds of the way across and doesn't close off the area properly.

I've had a good look at it, but can't find a way of making it work.

I've come to the conclusion there is either -
A catch hidden somewhere to allow it to move, which I cannot find
or
The second door has come off it's runners and won't move.

I've attached some pictures in the hope someone can give me a clue as to how to sort this problem.

I've looked through the manual, but there is nothing in there about closing this door. Picture three is showing the panel that will not move and the track.

Many thanks in advance!

I removed mine as it was a pain in that it would come off its track, or screws would pull out because they were either too short or the sub strate material wasn’t strong enough. The last straw came when after a period on rough U.K. roads it came off again. So I removed it and put up a curtain closure, with a child type stair safety door just to deter the dogs.

My next question is -

How to remove it. I cannot see any method of it being fixed anywhere to be able to take it apart to remove it.
 
On my Swift the door hangs from a ceiling runner, and has a guide on the floor. I had to remove mine to fix it and at the top there were 2 plastic brackets that hold the door to the track, I had to remove 2 self tapping screws and the door fell off, I could then see the problem with mine which was a bolt that needs to be closed when travelling. I appreciate yours is probably different, but have a look at the top and see if you can locate the fixings that hold the door on to the track. Getting it back together is a whole new game though!
