I was googling "alumalite," yes it says its very strong, light, and durable, however, the nice thing about coroplast is that its very flexible (and strong, light, and durable). Plus the pricing for a 4'x8'x 0.5" (thick) alumalite sheet is $545 The same size coroplast only costs $20ish.

As another user on this forum said, people always mess around with different build materials on here, but in the end, they all end up using coroplast because its light, flexible, waterproof, durable, and CHEAP.
My budget includes Coroplast, especially right after the next election in November. Those politicians must be good for something. Once I get the free stuff properly sized and installed, may replace it as needed with some nice new white stuff.

Yes, the Coro under the control arm is the idea. If the wind catches it and it rips off, it's so light that it probably would not cause damage to car, tires, or another vehicle.

This may be a stretch, given the difficulty of gluing anything to Coroplast, but has anybody tried using adhesive-backed Velcro on Coroplast?
