How to remove or repair Klip-Lok roof sheets?

The system seems good because there are no roof screws through the sheet but I can see a potential problem when one needs to repair or modify a roof sheet.
How are Klip-Lok sheets temporarily removed (or even partly removed) without damaging the sheet?
(Yes, I've emailed an enquiry to a roof sheet manufacturer but they have not yet replied).

I have had one experience with this. It is incredibly difficult to do but it is possible.

I have a video that I could send to you so you can see the process. My boys used a wrecking bar to pry a few sheets off but was super hard and slow to do.

I have tried emailing them, hope the links work.

I am so technologically deficient I am not not sure how to post them here, so if you are able to I would be happy for you to share publicly.

FYI, the reason why we had to remove a sheet of klip lok was that one of our overly enthusiastic gyprockers shot 6 or 7 screws through from underneath an alfresco ceiling. From memory as this was 2019, there were only one or two sheets damaged.

The roofers didn't think they would be able to get the sheets off, actually they were pretty confident it was near impossible, but they agreed to try. The gyprocker offered to pay for a whole new roof if they couldnt get the the 2 sheets off.

Anyhow, the boys managed to successfully pry the sheets off without any damage.

if you look closely you can see the screwsLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅

I might need your number to whatsapp it ( if I can now find it) I think it will be too big for email

Basically you need a crowbar and a lot of effort
