I’m kicking myself for misplacing that paperwork (might have left it at the dealer with another batch regarding the window etching) but I’d say 45 minutes was about right. Maybe they would have done it in ten if the tech didn’t keep walking away every few minutes to gods knows where ... and a lot of it seemed to be dedicated to clearing all the cautions and warnings that popped up as a result of the dead battery (dealing with everything from the keyless entry system to the emergency braking systems).Wow, that seems like a really bizarre location for this part, and it's also a completely different area than the part diagram indicates. What the heck is going on with this thing? When I made the appointment to have it swapped out, the service advisor said it would take 'around 45 minutes'. Do you know what the actual working time was for your dealership to do the job on your vehicle?
I poked around at the left side trunk trim a bit, but haven't tried to remove any of it yet because I can't find anything about it in the manual (and I'm not about to break anything on a brand new vehicle by just winging it). But now it looks like maybe your information has saved me from wasting a bunch of time doing useless work, and I appreciate you taking the time to post it!
At this point I'm probably not going to do anything on my own, and just hope to get owner-friendly service guys, who don't mind answering some questions that they don't usually get asked.
