Right now I just pry it back into the track and whack it with a rubber mallett. Which usually lasts a few days then I have to do it again.

you have a bent place in track. operate door and look for bent spot. fix with vice grips or hammer. check roller for play between stem and "wheel". if it has a lot of movement back and forth replace. DO NOT USE WD_40. It evaporates quickly and causes rust. use 10w30 motor oil on rollers and hinges.

There is most likely an alignment problem. Stand inside and operated the door while watching the offending wheel. Determine where the point is that it likes to jump the track, and adjust either the track or the wheel to remedy the problem.

Yeah, thats the same thing that happened to my garage, actually did a similar way to fix it. Try like whack the place that holds the wheel inside so that it can't come out.

Chances are that it is merely an adjustment or worn out roller. Be very careful and get it fixed as soon as possible. Garage doors can be very heavy and could inflict serious injury or death if it falls on you.

the wheel may be worn down and you might just need to replace them along the track. keep your wheels and hinges lubricated with some W-D40. this helps things running smoother so you need to change the rollers out less often
