I ended up getting the dealer to replace the condenser at a reasonable price, no need to use insurance. As a preventative measure I added some black zip ties in the grill to hopefully prevent this from happening in the future. I could add more but this should be adequate Grill Zipties

Extremely Bizarre logic here:
(Well it might keep whole bodies of rabbits and squirrels from entering. Road debris, no way) |

Anything that hits those zip ties at speed will just break them and enter your condenser anyway. Look into grill mesh if you're that concerned about debris. Or get a Tesla

not tailgating people will be a way better means of prevention than some zipties.
