## Discrepancy

AFTER INSTALLATION OF NEW DOOR 1R SLIDE UNABLE TO ENGAGE GIRT BAR IN TRACK.  NEW SLIDE REJECTED DUE TO GIRT BAR MATERIAL NOT FORMED AROUND GIRT BAR.  THIS FORCES THE GIRT BAR TO RISE UP, RUBBING AGAINST CONTROL ROD.  DID NOT HAVE A SECOND SLIDE ASSY IN SEA, RE-INSTALLED ORIGINAL SLIDE:  DASH 1024 AT DOOR 1R.  INSPECTED INSTALLATION OF SLIDE AND FOUND OKAY.  REPLACED FAULTY DOOR 1R SLIDE THE FOLLOWING DAY.  VERIFIED INSTALLATION OF SLIDE AND PINS REMOVED.
