chimb fixation, chime fixation
Kluwer Polytechnisch Woordenboek defines 'kim' in the sense of a protruding edge as 'chimb', 'chime' or 'rim'. Not at all sure, but 'chimb fixation' or 'chime fixation' might be a possibility here.
PS1: See http://www.joostdevree.nl/bouwkunde2/begrippen_k_ke_kk.htm for an explanation of the terms kim, kimanker, kimblok, kimlaag and kimstrook.
PS2: Kluwer Bouwkunde defines 'kim' as 'keyway', which according to the Dictionary of Architecture & Construction, besides meaning the aperture in a lock cylinder, can also mean "a slot used to interlock slabs of masonry walls built at different times". I don't think this would applicable here, though.

Comment: "Am going for the ridge attachment. Found plenty of Dutch explanation, but I needed an English translation and your last suggestion is useful."

Misschien helpt dit een beetje.
Hoi Anne Lee,
Ik kan er geen specifieke Engelse term voor vinden, slecht een Nederlandse beschrijving:
- er dient kimfixatie te worden toegepast door middel van mechanische bevestiging om de 0,25
meter zo dicht mogelijk bij de kim ter plaatse van de dakranden en daksparingen groter dan
1 m1.
Ik hoop dat dit iets helpt.
Ik zal verder blijven zoeken en zodra ik iets gevonden heb laat ik je het weten.
Veel geluk.
Peter

If you google images with kimfixatie + dak, you will find several useful sites, such as:
www.dakweb.nl
www.dakmerk.nl
www.waterdicht.be
From these and similar sites, my understanding is that kimfixatie is anything used to secure the roofing material at an upright corner, either at the edge of the roof (such as at a parapet or raised rim) or at the edge of a protruding structure (such as a chimney). This could be mechanical (such as a clamping strip) or adhesive (such as double-sided sticky tape).
