SEA tri slide shower door came off rail

I've looked in the manual but it only shows a general "how to install". Ours worked fine until this morning when the panel closest to the vanity wall slipped out of the upper rail. And we can't figure out how to slip it back on. I've felt along the upper rail on the outside rail to see if there is an indentation to slip it back on.

Any ideas????

Need it fixed for traveling as the panel with the outside latch is that panel.

We got it fixed. Reversed engineered the installation instructions which were not very specific.

First, I cut thru the silicon at the header bar. Didn't cut more than 1/8" below the header. Just enough to wiggle the header bar loose.
Second, undid the two screws connecting the header to the side.
Third, used a mallet to get the header loose to avoid damaging the header.
Forth, walked it far enough out to get the glides back on the rails.
Then followed the instructions to reinstall the doors and header.
Held the header down to test the doors and make sure they worked.
Screwed the header back on.
Recaulked the header to the shower.

Still haven't figured out how the glide came off the track in the first place.
