## Discrepancy

DURING ANNUAL INSP, FOUND BOTH LT AND RT WINDOW FITTINGS RUSTED MORE THAN 50 PERCENT THROUGH.  THIS IS ATTRIBUTED TO THE WINDOWS NOT BEING SEALED PROPERLY ALLOWING WATER TO GET IN AND CORRODE THE STEEL FITTINGS.  BOTH FITTINGS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW. THERE WAS MINIMAL SURFACE PITTING ON THE ALUMINUM SUBSTRUCTURE WHICH WAS EASILY CLEANED AND TREATED.
