Mine broke when I upgraded the fogs to HID. I used thin aluminum and pop rivets. I used small hinges at the top, and hold the new covers shut with screws. I can remove the screws and hinge the door open for access.

I lost mine while mudding at the Badlands but I didn't think they were hinged, it seemed as if they snapped in at the top and bottom so they might be replaceable. I have a 2008 XK so could they have redesigned these access panels to be replaceable? I have yet to look for them at the dealer or online.

Yes the 08 must be different than the 07 design. I ended up cutting some plastic and riveting it into the space. Seems to be working.......

Just as an update I did go to the dealer to look for the access door and they said it is part of the entire fender liner so to replace just the door you would have to purchase a whole new liner. The liner itself was about $35 at the dealer, I actually found the same liner online for $10 per side. Once I received the replacement liner I quickly learned why it was so much cheaper than OEM. This $10 liner was made of really thin plastic, it reminded me of a highschool plastic folder. I didn't replace it but it served for extra plastic to cut out my own access door. I ended up cutting it to the size I needed and attached it with two plastic rivets at the top and cut a notch in the bottom for the door to stay shut by snapping in place. I can't see it being a problem but if it does end up falling then I'll simply spend the $70 to replace both sides.

I lost the passenger side door at the Mounds and the driverside at Jeepskool I have yet to put anything over the holes yet. Both were closed when I lost them.
