Help on repair for Center Console

You can "plastic weld" the underside to make it solid again...if you can get enough of the edge to bond with. I use fine wire mesh, heat it red hot, heat the plastic until its wet/soft then press the mesh into the molten plastic to make it part of the matrix like cloth is to fiber-glass.
my door panels were repaired this way several yrs ago and still hold together.
Fine wire mesh, 1/8" squares, or fine expanded, a pencil torch and some tools to handle the hot parts.

The PS side of the white leather on my console door was pulled away like yours and I used RTV to reattach it.
I placed a weight plate inside, laid a 2x4 along the ourside with a weight, to press the cover against the lid, and let it cure overnight.

Mine was so bad on my 93 I found a OEM replacement lid on flea bay for 100$ and it was well worth it. Used old hinge and clasp. I'm not home now so can't give you name of guy I got it from. I'm sitting at VA hospital in Richmond waiting for check up appt.I always deemed so blessed after seeing our vets. God bless them all.
