## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE FUSELAGE RIVETS ARE LOOSE AND LEAKING PRESSURIZATION. THESE RIVETS WERE SEALED IN AUGUST 2009 IAW MFG RECOMMENDED REPAIR. THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED AT 1790.7 TTSN, IN 160.5 HOURS THE PROBLEM IS COMING BACK. MFG STATES THAT THIS IS NOT A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM, BUT THE REPAIR THEY RECOMMENDED DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES IT IS SUSPECTED TO HAVE STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS WITH THE RIVETS MOVING IN THE FUSELAGE.
