Narrative:
On preflight walkaround I noticed damage to the fuselage just forward of door 2L (section 43). After further inspection, it was determined it was beyond manufacturer's limits and a permanent repair must be made. This was accomplished per maintenance manual by myself and several other mechanics. The problem was believed to be caused by contact by the loading bridge.
