Captain volunteered to do the pre-flight; since I was the pilot flying. I programmed the box while he was outside. He came back told me he noticed 2 fasteners missing on the left over wing Emergency Exit Slide. He immediately called [Maintenance] and spoke about his concerns. The Maintenance Supervisor came out and inspected the aircraft. [Maintenance] came to the cockpit and stated indeed 2 fasteners were missing on the critical left over wing panel he quoted 'and you have a 3rd fasteners that was GLUDED in place.' [Maintenance] also stated that the Emergency Exit Slide panel had shifted down and quoted 'getting ready to depart the aircraft'.
Captain pre-flighted aircraft and noticed two fasteners missing on the left over wing EMERGENCY EXIT SLIDE. I immediately called [Maintenance] and sent [a] Maintenance Supervisor out to inspect the discrepancy. [Maintenance] came to my cockpit and stated that two fasteners were indeed missing and during a tightness check of the other fasteners on this critical panel he found two fasteners GLUED in; yes GLUED! [Maintenance] also stated that the EMERGENCY EXIT SLIDE panel had shifted down and 'getting ready to depart the aircraft'. These issues are not unusual for me to find and that is ALL I will say about that.
A319 Flight Crew reported that during pre-flight found over wing emergency slide panel had two missing fasteners as well as some fasteners that were glued in place.
