We needed to install "H" clips but how to install now? Easy. Just drilled a hole big enough to slip the h-clip through and slide over both sheets. Worked really slick and I thought I was pretty clever suggesting this to my roofer.
Adding H clips when the sheathing never had them and there is no space between each section will not do anything to create a space.
Drilling a hole just to slide the H clip in doesn't make sense.

H clips are spacers that go between each section of the sheathing before nailing it down and will create a space the full length.
