This video shows the facia being installed over the drip edge on the roof. Be careful, this allows for water to essentially flow down behind the facia panel and soak up into your facia board. I had these installed on my house and the facia board was rotted completely. When i put in back I will slide the top peice under the drip edge so any water is foced to flow down the face of the vinyl instead of soak into the wood and cause rot. Huge mistake on the installation guide. (Also if you nail that top peice into your drip edge when you get the roof replaced your roofer will have to rip off the facia cover to re-roof).
Glad someone else noticed! Terrible idea. Drip edge is best with a gap behind it, not flush against the sub-fascia with a piece on top of it. That's a recipe to guide water back onto the sub-fascia wood! There's a RUclips channel which shows how you can put the undersill trim UNDER the drip edge, thus allowing vinyl fascia to clip in under the drip edge and it also spaces the drip edge out from the surface perfectly. (The only caveat there is you have to anticipate before putting the roof!)
I need to order supplies to install these soffits exactly how your video specifies. I can not find a vendor who will sell f channel, H dividers, or Vinyl fascia. Every vendor I contacted suggests I use aluminum. I would like to install invisivent soffit on my build. please help.
The part about installing fascia around a corner is incomplete - doesn't show all the steps and is unclear about "under lapping the preceding panel" at 7:05. I'd think you would need to trim the bottom 'L' off of the preceding panel so as to not interfere with the piece you are under lapping.
Thank you! Finally a video on VINYL fascia!

It would be most useful to show how to install the last piece on a box return
