Pocket door losing it's hardware

I have a pocket door that has come off the track several times. I've "snapped" it back in each time, with increasing difficulty. The hardware that holds the door on the track at the top is very lose. Must I tear my wall apart to fix it, or will removing the molding uncover the works? Thanks for any help.

Removing the molding won't

Removing the molding won't do much for you - remember that half the track is inside the wall. If you can't get to the loose screws through the opening in the top of the door frame, it's time to break out the drywall saw.
