And how is this accomplished?my mistake sorry,reading that today you can,but you need to cut back the aluminum an inch or so so you can slide the flange of the new corner under it,not an easy thing sometimes but it can be done,the issue becomes being able to fasten the corner flange under the alum siding
Tom, do you think you could re-skin the corner with vinyl the same way you would with a vinyl corner? I have never tried it but it seems possible if the sizes match up.my mistake sorry,reading that today you can,but you need to cut back the aluminum an inch or so so you can slide the flange of the new corner under it,not an easy thing sometimes but it can be done,the issue becomes being able to fasten the corner flange under the alum siding

I have always used a "paneling" saw blade turned backwards in the circular saw. Cuts real clean. When you get as far as you can go, just score the rest with a sharp blade in your utility knife. :thumbsup:And how is this accomplished?
I know how to cut aluminum, and have done it many times. I want to know how he is able to nail the corner after slipping it in behind the aluminum. My guess would be that he would drill a few holes through the aluminum very close to the edge, and hand nail on an angle.I have always used a "paneling" saw blade turned backwards in the circular saw.

thats the issue rock,the vinyl one is probably 3-3.5'' the alum ones were typically 2-2.5''Tom, do you think you could re-skin the corner with vinyl the same way you would with a vinyl corner? I have never tried it but it seems possible if the sizes match up.

For those of us who were around when aluminum was the thing, you should be familiar with how to work with it. :yes:
Ok, got it thanks. I am not familiar as I would like to be with the old aluminum trims.thats the issue rock,the vinyl one is probably 3-3.5'' the alum ones were typically 2-2.5''
you could possibly cut the flange and pocket of the vinyl corner on the aluminum side,install a starter pop riveted to the aluminum corner and hook the vinyl corner around the starter then nail it to the front wall
u can cut the siding backI am installing vinyl siding shingles on my house front only. the sides are aluminum siding . My question is how to install vinyl coners without removing the aluminum?
