Help Secure Loose Vinyl siding That Will not Lock Together or continually unlocks - Pack of 10 secures 6 ft of Loose siding, 20 Pack 12 ft, 30 Pack 18 ft, 40 Pack 24 ft

Product arrived well packaged with clear directions. It works as shown and is simple to install with minimal tools.

I bought my house new 29 years ago, and my siding still looks pretty good. The last few years I have had a problem with a couple of pieces of siding that kept coming loose. Every winter, on extremely windy days these pieces would come loose and start flapping in the wind. I would go out and snap them back together only to have them come loose the following winter. I found these clips online and was a little reluctant to purchase. A few months later I saw amazon was carrying them, so I thought I would give them a try. If you follow the directions and take your time they work perfectly. These clips are very thin and bend easily. Do not try to smack the siding in place, you will just destroy the clips. Go to a local home improvement store and buy a siding tool, pull the siding down with the tool and gently guide it over each clip. The result will be exactly what you want.

Not thrilled about the cost per clip, but these do the job.

Yes, they seem ridiculously overpriced for what they are, but after you pop them on easy as pie and your siding is FINALLY fixed, you'll change your tune in a hurry. Do not attempt this project without a siding tool! ***CHECK FOR WASP NESTS BEFORE REPAIR!!!***

Junk. Did not work. Pieces of metal aluminum that was supposed to grab under the next lower vinyl siding panel to hold it in place? I guess a must have older siding that doesn’t allow for the clamps to grab. I ended up using two tac nails to secure the last piece of siding facade.

I am very mixed on this product. This highlights where patents can be used for overpricing.The clips are basically a length of bent 1” wide aluminum strips. They install easily and in many cases provide a little extra something for a siding piece to grab onto. You install them every 7”. If you have a single stubborn flap, then the fix is worth it (assuming it works for your gap). If you have to fix more (I have a west exposure heat issue that causes several panels to have issues), these become very expensive quickly. For what they are, the bulk packs should cost quite a bit less. Once the patent expires, these will go for significantly less.

Great product! I would advise watching the U Tube video before starting the project. The hardest part is loosening the nails holding the strip that needs to be pulled forward in order to fold down the fastener and holding the siding away in order to see underneath as my problem was rather low on the building. Otherwise, this is a very rewarding project especially when you have had the loose problem for a long time and live in the hurricane belt. I am a senior and was able to do it, so anyone can.

Worked great!
