shaping vinyl siding?

[dkpbxman]

The bottoms of the corner pieces of the vinyl siding covering my house are incredibly chewed up. I think the previous owners hit them with the string trimmer while doing yard-work.

I don't have any spare corner pieces to patch them with but there is extra straight siding.

Can I maybe use a heat gun to "relax" the bends already in a straight piece and rig up some kind of 90* jig to clamp it to and get the necessary shape?
Is such a thing even possible?

I'd just buy a corner piece but the corner pieces on my house are 3 1/4" wide and all I can find is 3".

Thanks

you have access to a tablesaw? set up your rip fence to rip a chunk out of a four by four about three inches by three inches. then round off the corner with a belt sander. this you cut to size and shove it up into the corner and attack it with your heat gun. clamp it in place when the vinyl is soft.
