Daan,
If you look at the buildings with the red roofs you can see some black bricks
mixed in with the white. The black bricks right under the roof are special
parts. The part is basically a right triangle with a small rectangle cut out
(where the right angle should be). The edge of the triangle that forms the
hypotenuse has studs on it, and these studs hold the roof plates in place.
Sorry I do not know the part number, or I'd give a reference for it.
