## Discrepancy

EVAC SLIDE ON DR2L COVER WILL NOT STAY ON.  THE FWD RETAINING HOLE IN THE IN THE SLIDE FIBERGLASS PACKBOARD WAS DAMAGED.  THE PROBABLE CAUSE FOR THE PACKBOARD HOLE GETTING DAMAGED IS IN-SERVICE IMPACT BY FOREIGN OBJECTS, SUCH AS SERVICE CARTS OR PERSONNEL/PASSENGERS AGAINST THE DECORATIVE COVER.  REPLACED RETAINING HOLE.
