Install the cap in place and then you can extend it on each side of the roof and go through every other rib on the peak of your roof until the end and then do the other side. Make sure to screw them down with nails and that they overlap or the wind could effect it.

I think I found a good place to figure out how to install it. This site description tells that once you set the cap in place, then you can make sure it goes past the edge of the closure material on both sides of the roof. Then, you can fasten it to every other rib on both sides of the peak on top of the roof with screws. You can use screws to fasten both ends.

This is a little confusing since there isn’t a whole lot of this online. I think you install it by setting the cap in place and extend it on both sides of your roof. This is at the peak of your roof too, so you might not want to do it on your own. You then, fasten the ends or the cap to every other rib on the peak of your roof. Then you go all the way down and do the other side before screwing them to the roof so they stay.
