Very helpful video and article, thanks for the presentation. This was the best video I could find on flashing a window installed in metal siding. I ended up using a Z shaped drip edge for the top, but it was easy to adapt from the method here. I used a barrier strip on the top to keep out bugs but didn’t seal the top edge, the idea that any water running down the inside of the siding would be able to escape, rather than getting trapped inside and possibly ending up as a leak on the inside of the window. Also made sure to catch the vapor barrier between the top flashing and siding, hopefully any water running down the barrier makes its way outside, rather than on the inside. The window I was replacing had years of caulk on the top edge, they must have thought that was where the leak was, when in reality it was a problem with the edge of the roof, making its way down the wall.
so - is there a detail for lower corner? water runs down into head trim then down jamb and how is it diverted to exterior face of panel - ie - how does it not enter space behind panel?

Very helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Great video 👍
how do you overlap your metal and fit it into the j trim at the top of the window and j trim on top of the wall?
How would this work if my windows are retrofit?
U basically put some 1x4 and on the sides a j channel
Caulking solves the rest
Good work 😁..Please advise my work
