Depending on how and when the siding was done, those trim pieces could
indeed be aluminum. That's what I have on my house. Vinyl siding with
aluminum trim around the windows and doors.
The aluminum trim is held in by trim nails which are usually colored
to match the trim. The nails may be placed in such a manner as to be
inconspicuous, such as very close to the edge and then covered with
caulk.
It would be best to determine what you actually have so we can give
you the best answer.
