First off, why is the clam defective? Why is it being replaced?
I've had my front clam replaced twice. It really depends on the body shop taking care of it....I don't know what the dealer turn around time is, but I imagine it's slower than a body shop.
My turn around was less than 2 weeks....all they really have to do is take the old one off, and replace the new one. Painting it and blending it is probably the rate-limiting step. Starshield should take a few hours.
Did you ever figure out what that gas smell was?
