Hole in vinyl siding attic.

You need to be sure the weather stripping and siding itself is properly done to keep the siding water tight. Clean the siding around the hole with vinyl siding cleaner or dish detergent and water then dry the siding. There are several ways to repair damaged vinyl siding depending on the extent of the damage. Cover the hole from the back side with foil tape then put the siding back where it belongs.

Holes an inch or two across or long narrow holes that still appear patchable require removing the damaged piece of vinyl to fix it. A siding zip tool pops the piece off from the bottom edge. This patch will keep the rain. That said the hole is the least of your effort.

Allow it to completely dry then use a razor scraper to cut the excess caulk flush with the outside of the siding. Cut a scrap piece of siding to a length that is several inches longer than the hole. You can patch a hole in your vinyl siding in less than three minutes using tear aid type b from sailrite.
