You could try silicon which you can get at the hardware store or pet store you have to make sure to let it cure fully before you put it any where near water though. I've only done it on the side of a tank never on a lid before!

If your canopy is a generic make you could proably just pick up a new one at your LFS. If not I would try to tape it or silicon it.

Find a local glass shop and they can cut you a new peice sould be like $25 for both peices, depending on placement of te brake the silicon might be to flexible for any spanning strenght.

I would definitely just replace the glass from your local hardware store if the plastic hinge material is still OK. If it's as new as you say, it should be fine.
Compared to prices for new canopies at local pet stores, this would save me $30 minimum. YMMV.
