Bowed aluminum siding

[Andrew S.]

Curious if others have repaired older aluminum siding that no longer wants to stay interlocked in multiple locations. The previous home owner nailed some of the slats in, which could be contributing to some of the warping. I've read that I could make a slotted hole on the bottom with an oscillating tool then nail up through the bottom and put a drop of silicone on it. Curious on what other repairs people have made? Might just need to rip off the siding and put on vinyl or hardiboard siding. I live it in and don't mind the couple bowed slats but it's probably not fully waterproof with huge winds or bug proof.
