I'm not sure what your configuration is we had something similar happen to us on our first long trip with trailer. Got to the destination that day, started to put the slide out and saw the sliding door sitting behind the facia of the slide about to hit it and break it.

Got the door, deployed the slide and assessed the damage. The terrible highways we had encountered apparently sent the sliding door back and forth in the track busting out the end of the wooden facia covering and pulling the track off the top along with breaking both rollers on the top. Thankfully the top track wasn't bent out of shape (if it had been can it not be straightened?). Got everything fixed but the culprit? On ours there is a stop screw in the top of the track to stop movement of the door if it goes too far - they had not placed one in ours. Fixed it up and we have had zero problems in many thousands of miles.
