What was found
AT INSPECTION THE HINGE WAS FOUND CORRODED AND THE PINS WORN PAST LIMITS. A FACTORY NEW HINGE ASSY WAS ORDERED AND INSTALLED. UPON COMPLETION OF THE WORK THE AIRCRAFT WAS PRESSURIZED AND THE HINGE ASSY WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION THE SKIN THAT ATTACHES TO THE HINGE WAS NOT SEALED. MFG WAS CONTACTED WITH THE REQUEST TO PAY FOR THE SEALANT AND MAGNESIUM RIVETS. WE WERE INFORMED THAT MFG WILL NOT PAY FOR THESE PARTS UNLESS WE RETURNED THE HINGE ASSY. DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME TO INSTALL AND FIT THIS HINGE WE DECLINED. MFG NEEDS TO INSPECT MORE CLOSELY THERE PARTS OR BE ABLE TO WORK BETTER WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS.
