Hi,

I've been having some problems lately with a small piece of siding that
was cut like a pyramid that goes on the peak of the wall.

It keeps falling. Iput it and lock it properly and it seems secure but
after awhile it falls.

I am starting to get tired to have to climb to the roof to put it back
again.
Is there a way that I can fix that thing for good?
I thought of using some screws at the bottom to hold it against the
other siding panel, but it wouldnt look good.

I also used some silicone to see if it would glue with no luck.
What else can be done sort of nailing/screwing the damn piece?

Thanks.

well i suggest u could do one of 3 things:
1. just leave it off and just live with the fact it might not look
very good but at least u wont have to keep climbing on roof ^_^
2. nail it or screw it back on like u sed and just live with the fact
it might not look very good but at least u wont have to keep climbing
on roof ^_^
3. use the gluey substance in a bottle called nomorenails thats really
good it glues anything to anything stronger than nails hold things
sometimes- this wouldnt look bad either

personally id do the 3 choice lol
but if this dont work just reply to this post
i hope this helped in someway!

I had that problem on a shed I built. One small panel nail at the very
top point. Depending upon the height from the ground, almost invisible.

Paint over the nailhead.

Any reason not to replace the top chuck with a wooden
plank, with or without a decorative carving?

Use one nail at the very top. Use an aluminum nail with a very small head
or a galvanized wood shingle nail with a small head. Just don't use a
regular nail unless you'd like a rusty streak running down the wall. Take
the piece of siding to an artist friend and get them to mix up a bit of oil
paint to color match. Put the dab in a zip-lock bag and store it in a
freezer until you are ready to paint the nail.

If you just can't get yourself to nail it, then try a little double stick
carpet tape applied to the inside lock of your piece or the lock to which it
engages on the panel below it.
