## Discrepancy

(CAN) RECENTLY WE HAVE HAD 2 LOWER SLIDER ASSEMBLIES THAT HAVE HAD THE UMBRELLA MOVING INDEPENDENTLY TO THE SLEEVE. IAW THE INSP CRITERIA OF TASK CARD 201 IN CHAPTER 065.71.06 THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY PRESENCE OF THE UMBRELLA TURNING SEPARATELY TO THE SLEEVE.  THE 2 LOWER SLIDERS THAT HAD THIS DEFECT OCCUR HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY OVERHAULED/INSPECTED AT DIFFERENT FACILITIES AND ARE BEING INVESTIGATED AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE DEFECT.
