I had to tear off and replace the siding on two very small gable ends at the top of the hips on the roof of the house I just reroofed. I put down a flashing before I installed the new siding, but when I pressed the siding into place, it made the horizontal part of the flashing stick out at a 90 degree angle instead of lying against the roofing. I don't know how to make it lie down. If I nail it, then I will have exposed nail heads to become the source of future leaks. I went to considerable lengths to make sure that no seam in the roofing was within 4" of a nail in the course below it, so I hate to have to nail down a flashing and then depend on some kind of waterproofing product to seal it. But I can't think of what else to do.
