wind gets under drip edge
it can not get behind a bent rake trim.
that IS the difference
a high wind can rip off the drip edge on a rake causing substanial
damage.
you obviosly have little or no experience in repairs.
wind is more of a problem than rain
rain falls down
wind................well.................goes every direction.

so if your drip edge is over lapping the rake trim and wind gets in
there it will rip off the drip edge, aluminum rake trim and some roof
shingles.

my way
you may get a shingle or 2 ripped off from the wind.
repair is much faster and less expensive for the home owner.

I understand that those of you who install drip edge on rakes are
looking for job security.................for me...................I'm
already secure.


Clue, drip edge is used on the rake also. The

it is the repairs that get costly for the homeowner.
