Unhappy REAR Hatch Release Cable

2K Boxter S, 58K miles

My cable release broke right where it enters the clip ring at the latch for my rear trunk. It looks like it pulled out of the pressed-on clip. Dealer says $125/hr for 5 hours to REPLACE the entire $42 cable assembly. They have to remove inside body panels, trim, etc to access the cable, which is fastened to the body in places, negating the possibility of pulling in a new assembly while pulling out the old.
Is this RIGHT? I find it difficult to believe it takes 5 hours to replace this assembly! There has to be an easier, (did the engineers planned ahead?)(and cheaper) way to do it.

Any help, Thanks.
