Hi everyone,
I have 2 gutter sections that have separated. Initially, I thought that the separation was where water flows to the downspout, but when I took a look, those two ends are capped as shown in the picture. Any suggestions on the best way to reattach them would be appreciated!

Odd that there would be two caps back-to-back. Do they flow to separate downspouts? Can either end of those be adjusted enough to be joined together? The installer may have cut one too short and just cheated.

Yeah I was surprised both ends were capped as well. They do flow to separate downspouts. The gutter on the left has a downspout about 25 feet to the left out of frame.
I’ll have to take another look at the gutters from above to see how the caps are installed. I assume joining them will require removing the caps.
