## Discrepancy

IN SIMPLEST TERMS, MAIN PASSENGER DOOR HAS A HITCH IN THE GIDDYUP. HAS A SLIGHT PAUSE OR HESITATION AS THE DOOR COMES UP ABOUT HALFWAY. IT SEALS AND CLOSES PROPERLY HOWEVER IT'S DEFINITELY NOTICEABLE.  PERFORMED GVI ON THE REST OF THE DOOR ASSEMBLY AND FOUND THE DOOR STRUT WAS VERY DRY WITH SOME DEBRIS ON THE SHAFT. CLEANED AND RE LUBED STRUT. PERFORMED DOOR OPERATION. NO MORE BINDING AT THE HALF WAY POINT. PERFORMED SEVERAL MORE DOOR OPS, NO MORE BINDING AT THE HALFWAY POINT WAS FELT. OPS CHKD GOOD.
