Where’s the 4” corner link? Thanks for this video.

[@fixitwithzim]

@@letteriapagan2123 Its available on the Lowes website. Search for 4" vinyl siding corner trim

Honesty is always the best policy, so, thanks for showing us how you were struggling to get the trim on and then used ‘the tool’ to help snap it in place !

[@fixitwithzim]

Agreed, no need to cut out the difficult parts like many others do in their videos. That’s why everyone comes to KZbin for how to’s, when they get stuck at a certain point. Always good to see you’re not alone and can still get the job done 👍🏻

[@rabbit_herder_420]

Didn't believe it at first, but after watching more videos, this is the real deal. Just make sure to chaulk that inside channel and you're good...

[@fixitwithzim]

Yeah, me neither until I tried it. Works great. Good tip with sealing the channel!

[@justinkelley9642]

Thanks for the video. I repaired four corners of my vinyl Siding today. The siding remover tool is a must have. I tried without the tool and was a bust. Save some headache and purchase the tool.

[@sandywjo5]

I've been thinking about a solution like this, had no idea it would work until your video! Thank you!

[@streetgainer]

Wow this works perfectly for trying to get wiring down the corner of the house. Make a just enough cut to feed your wire, once done you just cover up your cutout using this method. Perfect for security camera installation.

Nice idea, here's another tip. I have a 3" damaged corner, and I just tried it on a new 7' piece, but couldn't get 4" that matched so I went with 3". Plus a 4" piece would look too wide compared to an adjacent corner I have. Cut out the middle of the old piece leaving the flanges. But when you cut the new piece, leave a little bit of the curve, maybe 1/4", on one side. So cut about 1/4" less than he cut. The problem I had when cutting it the way he shows at about 5:00 is that it was hard to pull the flap open to slide over the old flange. If you leave the curve, as you push it will naturally slide on, for the most part. Regardless, trying to get 3" over 3" is pretty hard even after cutting out the old piece, the 2nd side is really hard. I ended up trimming the 2nd sid to leave just a small flap of about 1/2", and then i made a little hook tool from a spare pipe clamp or any piece of thin, strong metal. But it's defintiely easier than removing all the siding.

This is the best idea to repair a outside corner thank you for the great info

[@RobertParrish-p3e]

Very impressed, thanks CJSr for sending this video

[@kbamoroso]

Where did you get the 4" siding corner? You said you put a link in the description but I don't see it. Thanks for posting this!

[@levijam1724]

Thanks for the trick. Saved me so much time.

[@fixitwithzim]

welcome and thank you!

[@nathanganim7431]

Slick idea! We literally had the same problem and it was up in the air over a stairwell and I didn't want to do the tricky ladder thing so I paid somebody and they pulled the siding off and all. This would have been so much better and easier to do

[@fixitwithzim]

Thanks! It definitely is a time saver!

[@steveambrose9209]

Love this account, always so helpful!!

Thank you for your helpful videos once again

[@fixitwithzim]

You’re welcome!!

[@oneundecided]

Thank you for this video. May I ask you if you would recommend using the foam inserts into the corner siding post? Can be used with outside corner pieces when installing TimberCrest I/S insulated siding These are available at Home Depot. For example ABTCO 3/4 inch Outside Corner Foam Insert (PC).

[@brandengarner6617]

Great video, worked like a charm!

[@cpmiller1965]

Great flip,house hack, I’ll be using this tip, thanks

[@fixitwithzim]

Great, I used it on my house so definitely good for a flip!

[@anthonymahon7760]

thank you zim!!

[@tahoegirl7764]

Like it was never there! What a great fix 😁

[@jonathankosar1308]

I did this and am am having issues with the new corner piece sliding down. Any idea on how to keep it from sliding down without being noticeable??

[@huskygruff1134]

You can use Caulk on the inside grooves. So you would have to remove the new piece in ordered to work. Then apply the caulk to those inside groove on both sides. Reattach the new corner. Make adjustments to get in the right place and clean up any mess on the outside before the Caulk cures

[@jodiroxx]

Please tell me where you got your vinyl side trim, I didn't see the link for it and I can't find anything at Lowes. My son cracked the corner of our garage with the car, luckily no structure damage but the siding has a huge vertical crack now (in addition to 2 cracks on the front bumper but that is another can of worms).

[@fixitwithzim]

I’ll get the item number for you tomorrow morning

[@SoHottScott]

@@fixitwithzim what was the item number?

[@hasanguyon4955]

Looks great!

[@rickkohlhase8462]

If you upsize to a larger piece it doesn’t match the rest of house

[@fixitwithzim]

True but the chances of anyone noticing that are slim to none.

[@rickkohlhase8462]

@@fixitwithzim I could see 1/2” being ok but a full inch would be noticeable even to a dummy like me 😄

[@DerricktheRed]

This is very useful. My problem is I have a 4 inch piece and need something larger. Would you have a link to something like that?

[@fixitwithzim]

Buy a 4 inch corner piece. Once you cut the back off, it will fit over the existing 4” piece

[@MessyBeans]

Great tip

[@fixitwithzim]

Thank you!

[@room6767]

We’re can I find this corner peace I been looking Lowe’s and home depot don’t carry it.

[@fixitwithzim]

Lowe’s has them. Georgia Pacific 4” corner trim

[@fredymurillo3034]

its the same way to install 6" Traditional Corner Post

[@letteriapagan2123]

You showed two ways correct? One with just adding a 4” piece wrap and then cutting entire vinyl sheet etc. I felt like I missed something.

[@fixitwithzim]

Yes, the first method I showed was just a demo of what this technique accomplishes. Ideally, you'd do the repair like I showed at the end of the video....but ultimately, whatever works for you and that you're happy with! No right or wrong way...good luck with the repair!

[@mary349]

Wow, that's cool. Like that

[@sweetdays1023]

Where do you get the siding??

[@fixitwithzim]

I got the piece used in the video from Lowe’s. It’s not an in stock item. You’ll need to special order it online

[@elmersantos3729]

Great jod

[@fixitwithzim]

Thank you!!!

Putting a 4” piece over a 3” pound piece is going to look STUPID

Define what looking stupid is?

[@rickkohlhase8462]

@@fixitwithzim That would stand out like a sore thumb. Neighbors would be laughing at you

[@fixitwithzim]

You’re right. I should have left the cracked piece there, it looked better. I’ll post another video of me removing it. Thanks for the advice 🤘
