You need to bench the lid, up-side down, use a good quality spray adhesive (3M) and tape the unit till it dries.

When I got my current '88 the white leather had separated from the plastic on the hinge side.

For this sort of job I like black RTV:
- applied a thin layer of black RTV along the inside of the leather
- placed a weight onto the lid plastic
- pushed a 2x4 along side the leather to press the leather flat against the plastic
- placed a weight on the 2x4 to hold it pressed firmly against the lid plastic.

After 24hrs the leather was again firmly attached to the plastic with a flexible "adhesive"; cost was <$1...
