 Hello, Ian....

 Yeah, I'm still here...took a few weeks on several trips...missed the

 My suggestion is to slit (slot ??) the film and poke it through the hinge
 line from the bottom so that the "poked-through" portions can be anchored
 down on the top side of the surface - then overlap the film covering on 
 the surface top so that it covers the sealed-down film portions extending
 from the bottom.  This is the way I re-cover after repairs when I can't
 remove the hinges - frequently the hinges are stressed or damaged, then I
 cut them out and replace them.  Is my explanation clear ???  Good luck.
 BTW, why the repairs ????  TTYL - Roger
