## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING NORMAL FLIGHT, THE LT BUBBLE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED AND SUCKED OUT OF THE DOOR FRAME.  AFTER LANDING, ENGINEER FOUND THE WINDOW TRACK WAS ALL ATTACHED TO THE DOOR FRAME, ONLY A FEW SMALL PIECES OF PLASTIC WINDOW LT IN THE TRACK.  IT APPEARS TO BE THE ADHESIVE WAS NOT HOLDING THE PLACTIC WINDOW IN THE TRACK.  SIGNS OF CHAFING AT SOME PORTION OF TRACK SHOWS ADHESIVE HAD BEEN INAFFECTIVE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.
