NOTE: To eliminate interference from the panel above the
damaged panel, use two roofing nails as a wedge to prop up
the upper panel.
Push up on the panel to unlock it, and then pull down to
remove the damaged panel.
Preparing the new panel
Cut off all top locking tabs.
Flip the panel over and cut 1/8" off the side locking tabs.
NOTE: For Half-Round Shingles, notch the side locking tab on
a 45˚ angle.
NOTE: On the D9" Staggered Rough-Split Shakes and T5"
Straight Edge Perfection Shingles panels, there are 7 locking
tabs, but there are only 6 cam clips per kit. Place one cam clip
in the nail slot above each of the end locking tabs, working
towards the middle of the panel using all 6 clips. Leave one
locking tab in the middle of the panel without the cam clip.
NOTE: For Half-Round Shingles install four cam clips in nail
slot locations (left to right) 3, 13, 18, and 28.
You must install the cam clip and the snap rivet at the same time.
Installing the rivet before the clip may cause the rivet to mushroom
and prevent it from keeping the cam clip securely in place.
