It may be worth a try, but the plasticizers in the vinyl usually inhibit a good
bond, and super glues will not take any flexing on the bond line. Bonding the 
face
of vinyl to itself is tricky. A hot melt that will bond to polypropylene will
probably be your best shot. They are usually rubber based and will take a 
limited
amount of stress. Is the fold blind where you could take a stitch in it with a
long needle and secure the thread in a hidden area? Or is it backed up by
something where a well placed staple will hold it?
