Default Replacing fuel door

Has anyone here replaced the plastic fuel door on a x350? Mine split at the joint between the panel and the arm.

A friend of mine accidentally broke the flap off his XJ some years ago just two weeks before handing it back to the lease company. I super glued it back and taped it up to hold it in place to dry. I told him to leave it 24 hours. It glued very well and was fine.
Not sure if the break was in the same place. As yours. It was in the open position and he walked into it a broke off as he walked towards the front of the car.

Bump! Anyone have any diagrams or ideas on how you replace the plastic fuel door on a 2007 XJ8?

I don't want to pull the rear wheel and fender liner if I don't have to.
