Dave finally figured out what to do about the soffit vents meeting the rain screen. The siding goes up into the soffit vent, but Dave has bent a U-shaped piece of metal that loops around the top of the siding, about 1/4" above the top of the siding. That way, the air traveling through the rainscreen can escape at the top but be redirected out of the soffit vent by the metal. And the soffit vents are still open - the U-shaped piece of metal does not block them. Very clever - thanks Dave!
