It looks as though it was well-nailed originally, so either the door was hitting the end of the track at the end of the up cycle repeatedly and loosened it, or something changed in the set up to cause it to pull away--door jamming on track at top maybe?

Be careful around those torsion springs!

If you put it back together, I would use deck screws into the blocking where it was nailed.
