How would you seal this? Except Caulk then...

Hello!

Yes, I have a little DIY project here

Do you have any tips on how we could seal up above so it doesn't rain into the construction?

Extend the drip edge?

Thank you very much!

I actually don't think you need to do anything about that. It is so well protected and such a small gap that any driving rain that might find its way in there will dry up in the air gap behind the panel.

I actually don't think you need to do anything about that. It is so well protected and such a small gap that any wind-driven rain that might get in there will dry up in the air gap behind the panel.

Hi!
It was the same on the other side, then it rained in before we put up the vapor barrier.
I resolved it with sealing, but I was wondering if there's a construction solution for it.

Thank you so much!!

Can't you cut a notch and fit in a square piece of sheet metal like this?

I will probably extend the droppbleck!

Can't you cut a notch and insert a square piece of metal like this?

Thanks! But won't it still rain in?

The way you plan to extend, I have on my house, it looks good.

Yes, that will probably make it even better.

I actually don't understand how it can rain in there. The vapor barrier, it's on the innermost side. That means all the insulation gets wet too.

Do you have no wind barrier, outer gypsum, or similar behind the panel?

I actually don't understand how it can be leaking in there. The vapor barrier is on the inside. That means all the insulation gets wet too.

Don't you have any wind barrier, exterior plasterboard, or something similar behind the paneling?

We had a wind barrier, no exterior plasterboard. It's an old garage. We were in the process of remodeling the inside and there was no vapor barrier.

So, it didn't leak as it is now, but just to seal, I thought.
