Matthew,
I have had reasonable luck with super glue. Get the hood really clean then install it. Maybe slip some plastic or wax paper under the torn area (so you don't super glue the hood to the lever body), then neat apply the glue to one side and match everything up and hold until it dries. If it isn't a spot the flexes in use, it should hold.
