Gus,
I have a slight alignment problem in that every time the sections meet, there can be a slight shifting in the movable section. It doesn't always come down in the same place, just off enough so that I can't have both sides fixed in place. I experimented with it and found if I have a slight movement on one side and the track on the other doesn't move, I'll be able to use sliding rail joiners to keep the two sections aligned. I'll have to see if that becomes a problem running over the joint, if so, I'll use another way to secure it. I kind of feel like I've painted myself into a corner, but so far this looks like it has the best chance of working.
