Trouble with re sticking with permanent glue is if it starts peeling elsewhere. When I asked the dealer how to repair he said they use heavy duty wallpaper paste like the kind for sticking border to paper.
Worked for me and when it peeled elsewhere and I needed to release it, it came away for re- sticking.
I'd rather do it again if it comes away than get bulges below the repaired bits. I think you may find when you start to peel back for repair, you will find that it is loosing adhesion further than you first think.   Paste can be squeezed in easier than e.g evo-stick and leave for a few minutes to penetrate the bare wood before smoothing back.
Good luck with the repair. Mine started peeling after being stored abroad in massive heat with all windows etc closed up. Was like an oven inside. Little wonder the factory glue gave up.

I used PVA wood glue. My "veneer" seems to be printed paper, at least it is only as thick as paper so I painted the PVA under the loose flap and left it to soak in for a couple of minutes before pressing down, smoothing out and putting a weight over it. I put cling film between the surface and the weight so It would not stick the weight to the surface.  Job was as good as new.

Also if I need to repair again I can wet the surface and get the PVA apart.
