## Discrepancy

FLT 3060 - THE NOSE GEAR BEGAN TO CYCLE AFTER GEAR RETRACTION.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO DTW.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE LOWER FORWARD CORNER OF THE NLG DOOR BENT OUT INTO THE SLIP STREAM, CAUSING THE DOOR TO NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY.  AFTER REPLACEMENT, THE DOOR WAS RERIGGED.  ALL SYSTEMS OPERATED SATISFACTORILY.  (M)
