## Discrepancy

CREW NOTED A WHISTLE FROM BAGGAGE DOOR AREA. MAINTENANCE FOUND THE BAGGAGE DOOR SEAL TORN IN THE 12 O'CLOCK POSITION. IT APPEARS THAT THE TOP BAYONET LATCH PLATE ON THE FUSELAGE HAD EXCESS SEALANT ON THE IB SIDE, CAUSING THE DOOR SEAL TO RUB HARD AGAINST IT DURING DOOR CLOSING. DOOR SEAL REPLACED AND EXCESS SEALANT REMOVED FROM BAYONET PLATE. OTHER AIRCRAFT IN FLEET WERE INSPECTED AND NO EXCESS SEALANT WAS FOUND ON THOSE PLATES.
