Spring loaded hinges? Has anyone ever actually done that? Sounds like I
could pay someone to clean them for me 5 years in a row before I could pay
for new facia with funky "micky mouse" spring loaded hinges.

When the downspout clogs and the gutters fill up, do they suddenly flip open
and dump the water all over.

I don't know of any that are perfect.
