To access and remove the damaged section of vinyl siding you must first unlock the siding above and below the damaged section.
- Using a zip tool, unlock the vinyl siding above the damaged section by inserting the curved tip of the tool blade under the end of the overlapping panel and hook onto the back lip of the buttlock.
- Then pulling the tool downward while sliding the tool away from the end continue separating the panel all the way across its length.
- See the Tutorial How to Use a Zip Tool - Vinyl Siding Removal Tool.
- Repeat for the bottom edge of the damaged panel.
