## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS NOT GNDED.  WHILE ACCOMPLISHING A SCHEDULED TIME CHANGE OF THE R1 DOOR SLIDE, THE REPLACEMENT SLIDE WAS NOT PACKED TIGHTLY ENOUGH TO FIT PROPERLY INTO THE BUSTLE WHICH PREVENTED THE GIRT BAR FROM BEING PROPERLY ENGAGED.  THE DEFECTIVE SLIDE WAS REMOVED & RETURNED TO STORES AS BAD FROM STOCK & THE ORIGINAL SLIDE WAS RE-INSTALLED ONTO THE ACFT & THE TIME CHANGED WAS PLACED ON DEFERRAL..
