RETURN TO I Have An Existing Metal Roof and Have A Question
RETURN TO FORUM
The slope may be too low for the metal panel. Just to confirm -- that is the uphill end of the metal panels we're looking at?
Is that a wet / water mark on the wood creeping up out of that flashing that has screws going into the wood -- up under the gable for the asphalt roof?
Thanks. Is there anything blocking water from driving up under the shed ridge cap on the metal panels?
That is the biggest smoking gun I see. Has anyone done any water testing?
Hey,
Hoping this community can help me out. I have a low slope metal roof tying into a gable end asphalt roof. Looks to me this is where my leak is coming from. Is there a better way to tie these two together? Or keep smashing the caulking to her?
Thanks!

Yes it's the uphill end. 
Hi Todd,
Thanks for your help. Yes that's the uphill side. There's quite a good slope on the metal roof. The picture doesn't capture it well but that asphalt roof is quite steep. I've attached a close up photo of the area of concern. Are there different metal roof trim pieces that could be better applied in this situation?
No, is clear silicone that I had added just before taking the picture.
Good question. I can't say for sure as I wasn't there when it was installed.
