Tightening screws on metal roof

we have a ten year old metal roof that is starting to leak. The screws seem to be loosening up. Tar around some helped but leaking in another spot. Should we have all the screws tightened up.?		Mary Kirby 8/17/2015	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/20604/find/
It sounds like these are exposed screws. Yes, they could be tightened though another option would be to replace them with bigger diameter screws.		Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 8/17/2015	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/20605/find/
+1 I would just replace them as Todd mentioned. Cleaner looking and will likely net a more dependable result.		Eric Novotny An informed customer is the Best Customer! 8/17/2015	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/20606/find/

can you send pictures? it is rare that the screw hole is what is causing a noticeable leak. You may have problems with flashing details that are further up the roof.		Dick Bus 8/17/2015	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/20608/find/

No I did not. I did check my spam file and it is not there either.		Dick Bus 8/19/2015	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/20612/find/
