Beetroot42, we have had ours done once but it was the complete "Works" Rails & Caps and it took time as the Headlining had to be dropped. Now it is only an End Cap Swap Snap Fit which be a much quicker option. I would think Gel is the Specialist on this as he has had a few changed, I would think a max of 1 hour as an estimate - Dave :)

by headlining do you mean the interior lining? (I guess they are bolted from inside?) I guess its not an urgent job, but I also need dealer to check some "wheezing" noise on my steering.

Correct, but now it is just an external job to exchange the Caps - "Snap Off" / "Snap On" - Dave

Sensible approach, im in the same position. Extremely minor cosmetic, so im not overly concerned.

Whilst washing the car today noticed one end cap with lots of crazing and another just starting. Going in for second service end of the month so will be mentioned then. See what happens.
