   Go to your local supplier of siding and ask for a siding zipper. If they don't have them they will surely know where to find you one. They cost 4$ or so and you will be able to start at the bottom of the window and finish at the top no extra siding will have to be removed.

   *I have used one of these tools that Blacky describes and they work well.

   *A piece of 14 gauge wire (one strand) bent in a tight hook on one end will work well in a pinch. Ya do just what Blacky said, then hook the wire over the lower edge of the top piece of siding, and zip it over the locking channel.

   I think I am going to have to remove vinyl siding from the side of a new home to install windows.
   I am installing new windows into the wall (quarter round). I have installed it before but never had to take down and reinstall. The windows are going to be installed about 7'-0" up from f.f. on a 2 storey home. Do I have to remove all the siding or can I just remove the affected area?
   If I just remove that area , how do I reattach it since it starts at bottom and goes up? i.e locking in the last piece to the one that remained?
   Any help would get you a 12 pack of your choice.(only if it works).
   Thanks cc
