There is no connection between the door and tray per se. There is a plastic piece behind the metal door that has a protrusion on each side of the inside of the sliding door which the cd tray hits as it comes out, forcing the door down. The door probably has a spring (or 2) somewhere to pull it back up, though I don't see them.
Is it only the metal part of the door that is down (in which case there would be a plastic piece still blocking where the tray comes out) or are both dropped down? If only the metal is down, its separated from the plastic. If both are down, whatever springs hold things up are broken or have come loose.
