I love my Jayco.... But....

I think it was built on a friday at 5pm! I pulled the rear plastic trim that sits in the metal channel that connects back piece to the side piece, and the screws from the bottom up to about 6ft off the ground were at a upward angle, and then from that height up to the roof, they were on a downward angle! So if i am reading this right, the guy put the screws in from the ground until he could no longer reach, then got on a ladder and went from the roof down..... And then of course, there is the little thing that made me pull the plastic insert / trim to begin with, the end of the insert does not just end at the bottom of the wall, it wraps back up under the metal trim, which effectively makes a great way to plug up any water that gets in the trim channel, and wants to drip out. Well, i took every screw out, coated it with dicor, and filled each hole with dicor before i put the screw back in. And then i left a big enough gap at the bottom so that any water that gets in, can drain out... And that was my day....

    Thats what i figured, but there should be at least a weep hole to let any water out
