Add a strip of fabric to the flap about 2-1/2 inches wide and 5-6 inches long and sew it to align with the seam line joining the two colors where the flap starts. Put sturdy velcro on the strip and a matching piece on the back or the bumper (or on the adjacent bumper). When you fold the ends pull this strip the whole way over the end and secure the velcro. It holds all of the end fabric in place and hides any stray edges of the wrong color.

If you need a better description or photos to help you from tearing the blasted bumpers to shreds, let me know.

Could you post the pics or e-mail them to me at calamari.ethan@gmail.com, that would be VERY helpful. I am having a hard time visualizing what you mean. Thanks.
