I just had a standing seam roof installed but the ridge trim looks bad. I've attached a pic and maybe someone can comment. The trim bends at every seam. Did the roofers install it correctly?

Hi,
I uploaded additional higher-res photos of the ridge trim to Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/fyatx. As you can see, there's basically a wave affect only the ridge. It appears that only foam was inserted underneath the ridge instead of metal closures (I have a closeup pic). Is this an appropriate way to do ridge caps? The ridge that was used is the Mueller CF and AP Ridge Roll Profile #0222 (you can see it in the catalog at http://www.muellerinc.com/downloads/ResidentialTrim_lo.pdf). The panels are Mueller CF panels.
Thanks for any feedback. I'd like to be informed enough to walk through this with the roofers.

Normally for these applications I suggest the use of Z Channel as a cleat to attach the cap to rather than exposed fasteners. That avoids any rippling.
However, that would also eliminate venting.
I would at this point suggest heavier gauge metal for the cap.

It appears they used a closer such as emseal or something simalar. Not a venting material. a heavier material isnt needed just new cap with hems on both sides and a z closer with butyl tape
