I had the doghouse/hatch off as it was/is cracked. They are typically made of fibreglass and I was ready to repair it with fibreglass. However when I took it off it was plastic. Of course it is very difficult to glue plastic. I glued it but I also made up and installed aluminum reinforcing strips across it to give some support so one does not fall through. It has worked to a point and I doubt I will try to fix it again.
I recently had the spark plugs looked at & the mechanic went in through the wheel well. One repair you may need to take it off for is the air conditioner compressor.
