Reversing accordion door.

I would like to remove the accordion door that is between the galley and the beds and reverse it to open to the other side. It now opens to the curb side. Trouble is when opened it prevents the lower cabinet door on that side from opening fully which prevents me from putting pullouts in that cabinet. I'm thinking if it opens to the road side it will open up the area I need.

Problem is I don't see how I the door comes down from the overhead track. Everything else looks straight forward from there. The door is in good shape so I'd like to just take it down and reverse it. Anyone know how it comes off?

Perhaps you can remove the track from the door opening, and the door will slide out the end of the track. Or maybe you could even just reverse the whole thing, track and all, without having to take the door out of the track.

It looks like the overhead track runs the entire width of the coach. It seems to be held up by the laminate panels which are attached to cabinates on both sides etc. etc. I'm hoping the door can be tilted out or something. I sure don't want to brake the plastic hangers attached to the top of the door. I'm thinking there has to be a way to take it down for service.

reverse door

I have a 69 tradewiind, to remove the door look up in the track there should be screws, remove them and the track should come down seperate from the wooden part.
