## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING DOOR PANEL REPLACEMENT, THE DOOR POST SUPPORT WAS FOUND CRACKED WHICH HOLDS THE MAIN LATCH FOR THE CREW DOOR.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE LT DOOR SUPPORT WAS ALSO CRACKED.  SUBMITTER STATED IF LEFT LONGER, THE SUPPORTS WOULD HAVE FAILED AND POSSIBLY RESULTED IN FAILURE OF THE DOORS.
