NEED Advice, I'm visiting the Dealer for Repair?

Ok, I did an AC check myself since I knew there was something wrong, as I suspected the condensor has a hole, most likely from a rock, i have an extended warranty and the AC condensor is covered, however they made it clear there only going to cover defects, not wear and tear, to which I replied than why have it listed on the warranty, there is no other way the condensor could ever cause problems, it's that simple of a piece.

So I'm bringing it in Monday morning, so they can run their diagnostics that will tell them what I already know.

Question, HOW do I get around this wear and tear ****?

Any adivce on what angle to use as reasoning that they should fix it anyways?

Can I say they sold me it like that, does it matter if they did?????

get some ac refrigerant dye and run it along the seam of the condensor. when they test for a leak theyre gonna see the dye around the seam thinking the seam is leaking=manufacturer defect

Nice good idea, how do I run it along the seam though, it's hard to reach, do I need to move the bumper?

Sorry to jump in this so late but...

Any dealership will try to pressure test this first, and when they see a large amount of dye spraying out of the condensor like exhaust from a jet engine that will equate to you buying a condensor and/or paying for diagnosis time.
