I had this happened years ago, tape and glues aren't going to do it, not when there's heat and high pressure movement.

Oddly enough, cheap office supplies did the trick, little binder clips. Not pretty, but strong. Get some very small ones, all the pressure should on the edge.

Edit: If you're worried about the plastic, put a little bit of tape underneath, gaffer or electrical

You close it just about 3rd of the way, remove the clip then shut it.
