Need Advice Pinning Down Existing Drip Cap

Brian (FL)

The aluminum drip cap on the front of my house needs to be pinned down. There are not enough nails and the ones that are there are not driven down tight enough. Didn't really notice until I had seamless gutters installed. Gutter goes behind the drip edge and the brackets are then screwed through the face of the drip cap.When the mounting brackets were screwed in it caused the top of the drip cap to buckle up in spots. So I need to pin the drip cap down to the roof without removing or damaging the existing shingles. Any tips or tricks from you pros?
I'm also wondering if there is another way to attach the gutter brackets (maybe a different type) to avoid the drip cap? Thanks.

actually the screw for the bracket goes through the face of the drip cap. These are 6" gutters so I'm not sure how that could have been avoided with the brackets they used but would certainly like to know if it's possible.

I'm confused, why would they put eavestroughs across his windows and door? And if all the screws are through the drip cap, how did they get fall?

Just get some PINS and PIN it down

just lift up the first shingle and nail through the starter..... if that doesnt work use the drip cap formula or as a last resort run some lag bolts through it... every 8" should do the trick.

Good luck
