On my way down to South Carolina , a rock must have hit the closed panel that covers the DEF tank, only one of the little slots is missing, I looked on realoem.com, I can not tell if the part just snaps in from the front or it has to be accessed from behind ? Has anyone else had this happen, only one tiny little diamond is missing. Luckily , no damage to the DEF tank.

I wouldn't even bother with repair on something that small and inconsequential. Road debris and lousy roads are a part of life in SC due to insufficient fuel tax revenue.

If that is a single hole on the passenger side then IT IS BY DESIGN and not by Debris.

Mine has one single diamond missing. Is that by design?

I have a single diamond missing on each side.

I believe that open or closed is by design depending on engine and presumably it's air flow requirements or of parts behind that panel. The single cutout on an otherwise closed panel is to facilitate the removal of the panel (insert finger and pull).

That little missing piece is for you to pull the panel out. The easiest way to replace the fog light is from there.

Never noticed that the cover is meant to be that way, came out the hotel into the parking lot and noticed it, since I never saw it before I just assumed it was damaged.
