We bought a house a year ago that has these or something very similar
installed. So far I've been quite satisfied with their performance.

One of those pictures illustrates one of my concerns with the way that
solid piece from HD looked when istalled on *my* gutter.

In my case, the gutter gaurd was almost completely level on top, which
makes me wonder if it could cause water to run back under that last row
of shingles and cause the lower part of the roof to rot over time. But
the above picture actually seems to show that the top of gutter gaurd is
tilted *back* towards the house a bit, which looks like trouble.


I see and understand your concern. The system we have was added to the
existing gutters that were mounted low enough on the fascia that there is
plenty of pitch away from the last course of shingles that the back of the
gutter guard is installed under.
