Drip Cap
Here's one of the drip caps Dave is making out of Azek. Note that it is sloped, and that it has a little groove in the bottom to keep water from rolling around it and back down the face of the trim. You can buy premade drip cap from Azek, but Dave thought it would be easier to make his own.
Before installing the next piece of siding, the drip cap will be flashed with white aluminum that runs up the wall behind the felt/rainscreen to direct any water in the rainscreen out on top of the drip cap.

"Not just behind the rainscreen, but behind the felt, right?" --bhammerstrom, 01/10/07
