I have fitted the top runner rail and followed all instructions putting the pivots in place on the doors.
I can close the door over but when I open it, it comes off the rail! any ideas? many thanks!

With NO offense meant at all; I suggest any bifold door include both a top and bottom track.
Also the action of any bifold to be successful; depends on the stability of the track and the guides captured by the track.
Essentially the track should be able to capture the guides; but also allow for release without dismantling the entire installation. Without knowing at all the method of install; the price point/quality; of the product; or the type of track and guides; I can't see how we can offer much more than personal opinion.
Obviously the pivot point must be secure; and in most cases you have no choice in that. The guides attached to the top of the door should be installed securely as well. The track; even if not square to the opening would still allow free sliding; if in fact the track holds the guides properly and adequately.

With this type of door it is essential that the line of the pivots is at right angles to the runner, Check the engagement of the slider in the top runner as the door is moved through the full range.

are you sure the runners are properly engaged with the rail? or maybe the rail needs moving over a touch.
