The Bentley says about all there is to say about the removal process. Mine
was a bear to get off even after removing the two screws on the bottom of
the cover. The top part of the cover fits in a channel that runs the length
of the panel - great rust catcher for us salt-zone dwellers. It just slides
up to remove. BTW, the trolley that runs behind the cover & supports the
door is removed by lifting it off the track at about the mid-travel point.
If it just somehow fell off, you might try opening the door half-way and
trying to get it back on track to get the door moving again.
