If under warranty take it to the Genius Bar. If not, use the appropriate guide, open and tighten the screws. A bit of LocTite might make them stay tightened a bit longer (so will not trying to push the top case back over a 90º angle.

Tom this video showed step by step what to do to fix the loose hinges. It was my first time opening a macbook and doing a minor adjustment - took me about 30 minutes.
