I had a problem with my fiver along a curved radius that went from horizontal along the roof edge and then gently curved to vertical around the joint between the nose cap and fiver's side. The vinyle would stick in the curve till we got to going down the road then the curved portion would come loose.
I solved the problem ten years ago by removing the screws from the metal trim radius that held the vinyl around the curve. I filled all the empty screw holes with silicon caulk and then replaced the vinyl before screwing stainless steel round head screws back where the old screws were in the metal trim. I had to mark the location of the screw holes so I knew where the stainless screws were to screwed in. It looks neat and I haven't had any problems with leaking. Most of all the vinyl trim stayed in place
