A young man with a few hours to spare one afternoon figures that if he hurries and plays very fast, he can get in nine holes before he has to head home. As he is about to tee off, an old gentleman shuffles onto the tee and asks if he can join him. Although worried this will slow him up, the younger man says, Of co...

I have a 2005 Jayco Heritage & when I lower the roof the holding clips do not fully cover the brackets. It appears that the roof is sitting too far forward about an inch. Has anyone else encountered this? Is it a major problem? Can I fix it?
