IND - WHILE PERFORMING TASK CARD 25-016-01, "SLIDE DEPLOYMENT FOR L-4 DOOR", THE DOOR ASSIST DID NOT OPEN THE DOOR IN 2-6 SECONDS.  HAD TO PUSH THE DOOR OPEN FOR SLIDE DEPLOYMENT.  SUSPECTED SLIDE SHIFTED UNDER THE COVER CATCHING THE DOOR FRAME.  A/C HAD P/C/W MOD SB 757-25-0175.  THE SLIDE AND DOOR ASSIST BOTTLE WERE REPLACED AFTER INSPECTING THE COVER AND DOOR FRAME.  A/C RETURNED TO SERVICE.  (M)
