Top Piece Of Siding Fell Off

Diy how to fix loose vinyl siding with a malco sideswiper siding tool.

Top piece of siding fell off. I believe this is a fiber cement board type of siding. Push the top of the vinyl siding with the tabs into the utility trim just enough to hold the edge and push the bottom against the second to last piece of siding. Edge in with brush and roll epoxy to cover countertop. Push the upper piece.

Attach the aluminum attachments to the uppermost edge of the top piece of siding using the crimping tool. Use tweezer to pull out debris like strands of hair fuzz etc. When there are. Grab the siding with both hands and hold the piece parallel to the existing pieces.

Some companies may avoid using these to cut costs but it significantly reduces the quality and allows room for the siding to loosen over time or detach from the wall completely often resulting in the top piece of siding falling off. Affix attachments every 6 8 inches to allow the siding to be flexible enough to expand and contract with heating changes. Make sure your siding installer uses the correct type of nails when installing siding. Step 5 raise the piece that overhangs over the new siding and secure the replacement piece with 1 or 1 1 2 inch nails.

Hook the bottom and top edges of the new siding to the existing siding. It appears that the material around the nails at the top of the fallen siding piece gave out resulting in it falling off the house. Incorrect underlining installing paper wrap and either metal sheeting or paper seams underneath the siding helps keep moisture out and prevents leaks. Push up gently until you hear a click.

Be sure the top and bottom click into place. Insert the zip tool into the hook at the bottom of the piece of vinyl above the new piece. Use light to inspect countertop for bare spots and drizzle epoxy with brush and lightly dab area. Once it is in place test by sliding the last piece back and forth slightly.

Pour a line near the edge of counter and roll over edges.
