The coroplast is now coated with dirt/dust-imbedded adhesive residue which is probably why the tape doesn't stick very well. Not sure how I would get the coroplast cleaned up as it just pushes up when any pressure is applied to it - same problem when applying tape.
Any ideas?
try clean it up with denatured alchol, that should clean it up nice. you can also put a backing material in there like thin plywood and then screw the coraplast for that then seal it. might last a bit longer.
