The last course of siding will generally
need to be cut to fit the eave opening
(Fig. 1).
Step 1
Install undersill trim under the eave or
overhang as a receiver for the cut sid-
ing. Undersill trim is used anytime the
top or bottom lock has been removed
from the siding. Furring may be need-
ed to maintain face of the panel at the
desired angle.
Step 2
Measure from the top of the undersill
trim to the bottom of the upper lock
on the previous course of panels.
Subtract 1/4". Mark this dimension on
the panel to be cut, measuring from
the bottom edge of the panel.
Step 3
Using a snaplock punch, punch the
vinyl siding along the cut edge every
6" to 10", so the raised lug is on the
outside face.
Step 4
Install the siding panel, making sure
the lugs (from snaplock punch) lock
into the undersill trim.
