Is anyone out there having leaks with plastic ridge vent material

The times I've discovered leaks with ridge vent have been due to improper installation where the ridge vent was installed flat on a lower slope roof like a 3 to 5 on 12. Sometimes it even has dipped in places where water puddles. When I install it, I always nail one side first and then push up on the other side a bit to make a nice peak and hold it in place before fastening the last side down with the nails so the water runs off toward the bottom of the roof on both sides. ;)

No leaks because I only use the ones with wind baffles and I take the time to install them correctly. Any one that says they are easy to install has never done it right. Around here, no one seems to know how to do it.
Another thing- I never seem to charge enough because they are a pain.
