Has anyone figured out a good way to do this?

I'm wanting to mount a TV on a full motion mount on my deck but I don't want to completely destroy the vinyl.

Should I cut a section out and mount to the wood behind? Just crush and say oh well?

Looking at a 50 inch tv.

Use a vinyl siding mounting block. Should save the siding.

I am having the same issue. I want to hang a TV on the back porch, but don't want to damage the siding. Also, are you going to just screw into the plywood behind the siding or are you going to locate the studs? I'm having a hard time finding the studs behind the vinyl and plywood.

I drilled mine straight through the siding into a stud. I'm not concerned if the siding has holes in it. I won't be taking the mount down even if I sell this house. So someone else can put their tv up without having to mount a bracket. If they don't want to then they can pull it down and fix the small holes

Could you pop out the one or two siding pieces and screw in say a 1/2 ply to the existing ply so the siding won't suck in?
