Also asked, can you put window trim over siding?

Stephen, I have always butted the siding to the window frame, run the trim over the siding and then caulked the edge which seals the gaps. This provides the best waterproofing IMHO. Cut a rabbet into the trim piece and your siding tucks behind the trim, and you also get a nice fit to the window.

How do you stagger vinyl siding?
