## Discrepancy

DOOR 4L AFT GIRT BAR PICK UP FITTING CRACKED.  CAUSE LATER WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE THRESHOLD GIRT BAR FITTING OUT OF ADJUSTMENT, RESULTING IN A PRELOAD ON THE GIRT BAR AND THE GIRT BAR FITTING WHEN THE DOOR WAS CYCLED THROUGH ARM/DISARM.  THE GIRT BAR FITTING WAS REPLACED, BUT THE THRESHOLD GIRT FLOOR FITTING WAS NOT ADJUSTED, RESULTING IN THE SAME FITTING CRACKING 6 DAYS LATER (SEE MRR 2004UALA00268)
