Can anyone suggest where to find 3 3/4 outside corner trim. If none available can I use the 4 inch corners
even if there is a literal difference to your other trim (per what Nealtw said), unless the trim you're replacing butts up to an old piece of 3-3/4 trim, if the new is actually 4" it's very unlikely you could tell the difference? The harder part is matching the pattern if it's textured.. if you can get close to the pattern and color, buy a piece and just temporarily snap it over top of the old to hold it up there to see if the difference is significant and noticeable? If it works, then use the video Nealtw posted above to get it on without fully disassembling the siding.
 
Hi there Glenn and anyone else who has been replacing corner post. I'm in Virginia, and trying to find some of this white vinyl corner post. Can you tell me the name of the store/supplier or even the product name/model you found? I need something between 3.5" and 4" to fix a broken (wind/tree limb) 3.5" outside corner trim piece on my home. It is so frustrating to deal with these big box stores and then the local builder supply people who only want to talk to contractors. Sigh. Anyway, thanks for any help you can provide! Paul
 
Has anyone found the supplier yet? im stuck in the same boat, cant find anyone who sells the outside corner.
I found a flat 4" corner post piece that worked for me... and the people were super nice at the local distributor. The part I found is Alside 10-5644 in Glacier White. They have other colors.
www.alside.com

The Alside distributor locator tool is at https://www.alside.com/professionals/tools-resources/distributor-locations/

The Virginia store I used was:
ASC153 - Northern Virginia | Supply Center | Alside Exterior Building Products | P (703) 550-0895 | F (703) 550-0898 | www.alside.com

Hope this this helps.
Paul
