## Discrepancy

RT PASSENGER CABIN WINDOW RING PAN AT FS 1041 HAD THE TYPICAL CRACK AT THE FWD LWR FASTENER, AND AN ELONGATED HOLE NEARBY.  THE WINDOW BELT DOUBLER ALSO HAD A SLIGHTLY MISDRILLED HOLE.  THE CRACK END FASTENER WAS TRIMMED OFF, AND A REPAIR ANGLE INSTALLED.  THE ELONGATED HOLE WAS BUSHED AND THE MISDRILL MARK WAS BLENDED OUT.  THE INSTALLED REPAIR WAS FAA APPROVED BY THE OEM BOEING.
