Metal Siding - Air Gap - Reseal?

I have a 2014 32BHDS. I was driving down the road a few days ago and looked in my truck driver side mirror and I can see the side of my trailer up near the front, but on the driver side is getting air behind it and blowing out about 2 inches. I stopped and I am able to push lightly where the seams between the metal panels are and they move slightly and there is a small gap. I bought some duct tape and tried to seal the 4 metal panels as best I could so we could keep driving, but I am not sure it made much difference. The front of my trailer is really solid and the corners look sealed also.

I don't really want to take it to a dealer if I don't have to, so I am looking for help getting this sealed back up. Has anyone ran into this before? Any advice on how to seal these four panels? It looks like only about 2-3 feet are loose up near the front corner before the first window.

I thought about using some sealant and lightly pushing on the sides together a little but I am worried that air is just going to get back there somewhere else and it will just do it again. I am not sure how these panels attach to the trailer or to themselves at these seams.

Nevermind, I found the answer. Google didn't help, but the third youtube video had the answer I was looking for. Doesn't look fun, but not overly complicated. Just need to make sure I don't bend the metal...
