## Discrepancy

(CAN) FLIGHT CREW REPORTED LT SIDE WINDSHIELD HEAT C/B POPPING.  WINDSHIELD HEAT REGULATOR REPLACED.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED AN OPEN WIRE BETWEEN PIN J AND GROUND.  FOUND THE ELECTRICAL RETRACTABLE CORD DAMAGE BELOW THE SLIDING WINDOW. CORD ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. THE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM WAS REVISED TO CARRY INSPECTION OF THE RETRACTABLE CORD ON REGULAR BASIS.
