After seeing that add, I decided to try and figure out how they might do it.
What I do now is first fold it vinyl side in, length wise along the seam.
With the cover folded in half, I then fold the two ends in, at the breaks in
the plastic rim.  This does not fold perfectly because of the extra
material, but is does folk ok.  Then one more fold in the middle does it.
The cover turns into a nice small square that fits into the well in the
trunk.

Good luck.  I hope above is clear enough.
