Metal roofing systems must accommodate temperature-related movement according to their design. Clips and attachment details are part of that system. A repair that restrains movement in an unintended way can create a different problem.

What to do next

Ask how proposed repairs preserve the panel system's movement provisions. For new work, request the selected manufacturer's attachment details. Avoid authorizing improvised fastening simply because it appears to hold a loose area more firmly.
