Have you tried lubricating the door parts and tightening the nuts and bolts? Jon.

If its squeaking its loose, if its loose its not adjusted correctly or something is broken .

It is loose in the top runner, the roller has a couple of mil either side.
Everything else would appear fin it opens shuts and locks, and sits straight with the fixed panels.
The top roller is however bare metal, should this have a plastic/nylon sleeve around it??

Well guys I think I've cracked it.
I've pulled the door in a bit on the top bracket and this seems to have done it.
All the rollers are in place not showing any signs of wear.
Now the next squeak is the Westy table.
