Are shingles on a plastic ridge vent only for cosmetic appearance?
(About 8ft of shingles blew off the ridge vent; vent itself is fine.


What's so hard about nailing on cap shingles


What kind of nails work best into a flimsy plastic ridge vent ?
... liquid ones ? :-)


The kind recommended by the manufacturer of the ridge vent, of course.


The kind that blew off?


Could you be a bigger asshole?

It's clear that the person who installed the cap shingles did not
follow the manufacturers recommendations for installation, since
GAF has a lifetime warranty when installed per their instructions.
