Changing Tiles near Ridge

[rideforever]

Hi there

There is a tile with a chip taken out of it, that is 2 courses down from the ridge.

Could someone tell me if it needs to be replaced, and how I can replace it, I can't push the tiles above it upwards can I???

You'll struggle to lift the tiles over the lugs/nibs without lifting the ridge. You are correct in assuming pushing them up won't work either as you will disturb the ridge and bedding.
However, it looks as though the adjacent tile still has his gutter intact and it directly over the head-lap, so water ingress is unlikely.
