Top Piece Of My Vinyl Siding Keeps Blowing Off

How to secure the last piece of vinyl siding.

Top piece of my vinyl siding keeps blowing off.

Loosely secure it with galvanized roofing nails or exterior screws in the center. The same effect holds true for the vinyl trim that installs. The nail slots in the siding were not torn the siding pulled the nails right out. Homeowners can hire a contractor to replace the missing siding or purchase necessary materials and repair the siding themselves.

Usually the top cut pieces are held in place by nails and the nails are covered by the j or f molding that supports the soffit panels. Each successive siding strip overlaps the top edge of the previous one encouraging water to run down on the exterior of the siding. We recently had siding blow off of our house during a strong wind. The siding is over 20 years old and is no longer available it has a particular pattern and is of a color that isn t made any longer which wouldn t match our remaining siding anyway because of aging and fading.

There were wind gusts of up to 65 mph recorded at a nearby airport about a month ago which ripped off a total of about 100 sq feet of my vinyl siding in two separate areas of my house. While durable strong wind gusts can loosen the material causing it to fall off the side of homes. Snap the second to last piece of vinyl siding into place.
