Don't let them bull**** you. *The rake drip edge keeps the wind from blowing

That's true only if the drip edge is applied over the shingles. *I bet you can't find one roof with it applied that way. I did it that way on my first roof - looked like crap.

No, the rake drip edge goes over the felt, under the shingles. *Applying the
drip edge over the shingles would look like crap.

Which is exactly what I said. And putting it over the felt and under
the shingles does _NOT- keep the wind fromblowing rain under the
shingles.
