Another post about my 'ex'...
Has the lid come away completely? It never did open very far... did someone try to open it further?
You can probably effect a repair by taking the furry bit of the glovebox out, then removing the hinges and fastening together with rivetted aluminium and epoxy resin. Note: I never had to do this, so I presume it's still original.
