Narrative:
Right-1 door slide mooring line installed/attached to wrong end of girt bar september 2011. Next night; when I reported for work; I was told that the maintenance technician who had installed the slide had voided his sign- off on the jobcard. I talked with the maintenance supervisor and after much research; I determined that the mooring line had; in fact; been attached incorrectly. Jobcard has illustration of slide/raft girt bar; which is the wrong type of girt bar for this installation. This and other factors lead to the confusion. Maintenance supervisor informed me that after talking to maintenance control; the plane which was overnighting in ZZZ1 was being routed back to ZZZ the next day; and maintenance and quality control (Q/C) could then review/correct the location of the mooring lanyard. I called my supervisor on the [following] night and was informed that the slide issue had been resolved.
