If you carefully heat up that crease in the Coroplast with a heat gun while holding the bend angle you want, then when it cools, it will hold that angle.
Excellent. I bet it's also less likely to crack which happened on some of my outside corners.

By the way, the box skirts are holding up well. They get whacked quite a bit by ferry ramps and scraaaaaaped by tall speed bumps but they are none the worse for wear aside from the resultant scuffs. The coro seems flexible enough.

Even with the low clearance I have it's rare to hit anything on regular city streets and ramps. If you go slow enough over speed bumps they are not too bad. The ferry ramps are the only real serious clearance issue.
