Daisy,

Yes, they need to be parallel. Think of the tambour doors as a roll up
rectangle. If the slot for it to slide in is not the same dimensions as the
rectangular frame it rides in, then it will bind.

If the binding is minor, they can be forced, BUT EVENTUALLY, the material
inside the track will fray and it's downhill from there. At least, that's
what I found when I forced mine.

Once I corrected the rectangle for the tambour to slide within, then it ran
freely. If you happen to be at Oasis RV in Tucson, they have the material
(big bucks) in rolls and will install it for peanuts. Then, you'll be good
to go until you sit on your sink or pile bricks or can goods on the shelf
under the sink.

Bottom line, restore the rectangle in which the door slides and it'll run
freely. The name of the game is to stay in shape.  <grin>
