Narrative:

While working an A320 aircraft for logbook [write-up]; a flight attendant had reported door 2L difficult to arm. Flight attendant cycled door 2L five times in order to arm it. I and another mechanic cycled the arming lever several times and could not find any problems with arming and disarming door. We did find the door slide bustle had a missing clip and missing velcro. After reinstalling the bustle we verified the left and right aft main entrance doors were 'disarmed'. I noticed the trim on the bottom of the bustle was folded under. I raised the door 2L handle slightly to fix the trim when the slide deployed.
