I have a new Snap Lock metal roof on my house. I have a concern with the way the ridge cap was or was not sealed. Is tape sealer installed under the z-closure required to properly seal the ridge or is it optional? We have been told that it is an either or situation...either you install tape sealant between the panel and z-closure OR you run a bead of roof sealant behind the z-closure after installation. Thank you for your time and information.		Guest User 1/6/2018	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/22751/find/
Have you asked the installer or contacted the manufacturer?		Eric Novotny An informed customer is the Best Customer! 1/7/2018	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/22752/find/
