Question:
"Anderson vinyl clad windows offer a nailing flange, How can I get
this flange nailed behind the siding without removing any siding?"
Answer:
"Actually I was picturing those windows when I answered your question.
When you take the trim pieces off from around the window frame, you
should be able to slide the window with flange, behind the siding. The
siding probably isn't nailed right at the ends, and if it is, you can
pull those nails out to leave the siding with some room to give as you
slide it in. I know the siding above and below the window should not
cause a problem, and the sides should be manageable."

From waterproofing to insulating, Tom Silva's step-by-step guide to
putting in a new window.
(7 pages - click on Next at bottom of page)
For example on Page 3:
"But because Tom still prefers the look of wood on the inside, he
often installs clad windows, in which the wood is wrapped with an
exterior skin of a maintenance-free material. He says that wood helps
insulate interiors and creates a tougher product than one constructed
entirely of hollow extrusions. They may cost a little more, but, as
Tom says, "paying more for a better window is more efficient all the
way around.
Clad or not, most windows are held in place by integral plastic or
metal nailing fins. These make shimming and fastening the window into
the rough opening fast and easy. If Tom has an opening that's square
and level, he can install, waterproof, and insulate a window in 10
minutes. "Less time than it will take you to read this story," he
predicts."
