Perhaps elastic ties could be used, to stretch a bit as the control arm/Coro fairing move up and down.
Why not use overlapping panels, with the front panel being fixed at the front, and flexibly mounted below the control arms and at the rear by inverted T-shaped supports running through lengthwise slits in the coroplast ?
