Filling Ridge tile holes

[psymon25]

I have just replaced felt on a roof and extended a dormer, BC have suggested using a dry ridge system to allow ventilation with the existing eaves vents. I purchased a dry ridge system and planning to fit this weekend.

What i am concerned about is all my existing ridge tiles have x2 holes in them from previous fixings which were ring shank ridge nails with foam washers, has anyone had this issue before and other than spending an unearthly amount on new ridge tiles what was the remedy for patching the holes long term?

Failing a patch i guess i can use external screws with foam washers as an additional fixing but cannot seem to find them locally, so any tips on this would be super useful.

Thanks

A little squeeze of clear silicone would do the job into each hole and smooth with a wet finger or you can get these...

If your putting a dry ridge kit on then silicone will be fine, the roll under the ridge tiles will form a run off for any tiny amounts that seep through past the sealant
