That's interesting, someone has marketed this idea now. When I was a little younger, about 40 years ago, I helped my uncle fix loose siding on my grandmothers house. He cut pieces from a roll of 2" (I think) flashing and bent them into roughly this same shape. He called them spacers.

These didn't work for me. I'm not sure if it's because my neighbor (after fishing and bending all of the fasteners correctly...I watched, and he did do that correctly) decided to hammer each piece tight, tops ONLY where those nail slots are located. 1:41 He got one end to attach, but all of the others won't attach because the metal edge of all other fasteners are MUCH too high to where the lip of the loose siding is unable to snap onto anything. If the fasteners were lower by maybe 1/4" to 1/2", they would snap on. Could his hammering them tight be the reason they're not working? I can lift the piece of siding, but when I look underneath, the metal fastener is too high up. Please help. I'm afraid to detach that one end because we're not talking anymore. He knew I was mad that he didn't follow the instructions to the T, told me I'd need to hire a handyman (which I can't afford), and I ended up storming into the house. The winds whip along this side of the house all winter and during the spring. I can't plant any wind barriers because they would be too close to the septic. I've gotten so desperate that I may have to buy enough bags of topsoil and pile them high enough to prevent that piece from blowing off. Also, any videos on how to attach a damaged piece of siding, bottom piece, without having to remove the entire corner piece? Not exactly sure how the horizontal laps attach to the corners. Removing all of the siding to replace one corner piece will have to wait until next year, but I'm hoping I can replace the horizontal piece this year.

Hello. Sorry you’re having that problem. By the way on the question about replacing a bottom piece of siding without taking off the corner piece. You should be able to do that. Don’t stress too much. Vinyl siding honestly is the easiest siding product ever invented. The metal clips you’re referring to are very easy to bend and change and deform shape, so you might want to take them off and try again. But yeah, definitely get everything secured down before winter. Individual pieces of siding can be changed out by just affecting the top & the bottom you don’t have to remove entire rows of siding
