how long should a moonroof replacement take?

I took my car to the dealer and they have had trouble due to internal acura issues. I don't want to have an issue when I pick up the car and wanted to know if anyone knew the time it SHOULD take to install a moonroof glass and seal according to the book. Is there a pdf. file for this procedure?
Again, I just dont want to pay more labor than necessary.
thanks
DD
PS the dealer has been generous enough to let me borrow an '08 RL while my '02 TL is in thier hands and I am contemplating another Acura purchase.

they cant charge you what its really taking them to do for whatever reason--dropped the glass...guy who removed it quit and lost the screws,,let the shop kid work on it...

you signed an invoice with an estimate price- thats what you pay unless the writer calls and you approve a higher amount for additional repairs

Update
Moonroof glass had an internal part number issue. The dealer kept ordering parts which were labeled incorrectly. this was resolved by finally finding and verifying the part was correct. had to be shipped from So Cal and I'm in Nor Cal.
All was resolved, but it took 2 weeks.

Wow, two weeks. At that point, it would have just been better to give you the car, and call you when they got the part. But hey, you got to drive an 08 RL for two weeks =]

True Dat! the RL w/ NAV was just about heaven. especially the best part...more leg room. I could actually stretch out my legs in the car while driving. also nav and all the bells and whistles that the rl had that my tlp w/out NAV doesnt.

The only problem was that it was raining off and on during that period and the glass was toast. some kind of rock hit it while driving and blew it out. what a pain.

my next ride will either be the RL or a 1968 Charger.
