Aluminum Siding Loose

Two rows of aluminum siding have come loose on the front of my house. They are still attached by the top of the part, but are flapping in the wind. Is there an easy way (without cutting) that I can reattach the siding? Please let me know.

Thanks!
Yvette

Yes there is a cheap special tool that we use in the field. It will may only be available at the siding supply House ( thats where we get ours). Big box may have it.

This tool looks like a very thin putty knife about 1" wide and slightly bent part way down and at the end its bent back over on its self a very small radius 90. What this does is get under the lip of the siding thats locks it to each other and you pull down on it so they can clip back together. If the siding is to loose and stretched after you clip back together use a aluminum finish soffit nail to keep the recliping together. You can try to pull down on the siding and re snap/clip it but the tool is what all siding prof uses and its cheap.
