You can stiffen the bottom edge nicely by driving a steel rod down through the bottom row of the corregation. Take a sample of coroplast to Home Depot or Lowes and find a rod diameter which is just oversize for the corregation tube and drive it into the bottom row of your corroplast skirt. Worked well for me. You can then shape the bottom edge of the skirt a bit.
Yup, this is exactly what I have now done! This thread is long, so if you skip ahead, you'll see how my Coroplast wheel skirts worked out. Thanks for your comments.
