What about a long flat piece of lumber such as a 1 x 6 x approximate length of running board clamped in two or three places to hold the top down while you fold, glue and clamp the edges. Another narrow strip of wood clamped across the board edge could hold one side as it dried before doing the other side. It might even take some stress off the fold and top by using some gentle heat to soften a narrow area of the rubber a bit before the fold.

If the top is wanting to move or separate now am wondering what that says as far as the strength of the overall bond and possibly some lifting or puckering issues down the road. With the edges fixed and unable to move what would happen as the top surface expands or contracts.
