Air conditioning squeak (and warranty coverage help)

Hey guys,

The blower motor in my AC is making a very noticeable (according to the dealership "barely noticeable" chirping noise at any fan speed, but it's worse at the lowest speed (which coincides with the quietest operation otherwise so it's INFURIATING.)

The dealer says it's not covered because it "hasn't failed yet." $5 says they think it'll go long enough that it's no longer under warranty when it dies. How can I put pressure on them? It's under the Platinum extended warranty I got in return for my trouble with the CEL 1 day after I bought the car. The blower motor is expressly covered but they claim they can't replace it until it fails. I say that failing to operate within expected operating norms (EG no strange noises) IS a failure. Is there any way to "escalate" the issue? I can hardly drive without music playing it irritates me so much.

Thanks
Nathan
