## Discrepancy

WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING THE CABIN ENTRY DOOR THERE IS A LOUD POPPING SOUND.  WHEN THE DOOR IS COMING UP THERE IS A LOUD POPPING SOUND AS IF THE DOOR IS CATCHING ON SOMETHING. WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENING THERE ARE MULTIPLE POPPING SOUNDS AND THE DOOR WILL NOT FULLY OPEN UNTIL WEIGHT IS APPLIED TO IT.  THE SIDE TELESCOPING PISTON IS BENDING SLIGHTLY AND STRAITENS OUT ONCE THE DOOR IS FULLY OPEN.   REPLACED MAIN CABIN DOOR STRUT. OPS CHECK GOOD. IAW AMM 52-10-40
