I have repaired 3 of these now and this method works well.
Liquid nails, or construction adhesive in a calking gun works well. I used a thick paint paddle (stir stick) to protect the outside surface straight across the top edge, then used 3 small carpenters clamps and tightened them way down until flush and let sit overnight.
Be ready when tightening the clamps for some of the adhesive to press out at the top..so be ready to wipe the excess off with a couple of throw away rags.
You may want to disconnect the battery so the light does not stay on during the drying process.
Do not adjust your latches....no need.

I don't expect being able to prevent that, I will wrap the glovebox in a plastic bag instead.
