Lightbulb weather stripping leaking on both doors... should be under extended warranty; right?

What's up guys and gals? I have an issue going on, not sure if this has been asked before, but...

I have an 03 track edition, and yesterday night it rained like no tomorrow, anyway, I get in my car to go to work this morning, there is a flood of water on the floor board. I take it to the dealer, they are saying that the weather stripping goes bad on all Z'z and even though I have the super platinum, gold, special, VIP extended warranty, it might not be covered.

How does weather stripping fall under clutch and brakes as wear and tear items? I have to get in the car through the door right? Is there a secret enterance I don't know about?

Well, want to know if anyone else has had this problem and what the dealer did for them? Any ideas on how I can get them to cover the repairs under my extended warranty? I only have 62k on the car... I don't understand how this happened...

Thanks for you help in advance.

I always get a tsunami when I open my doors. Nothing big to me anymore.

The car should not be leaking even if it is 10 years old with 100,000 miles. Yes door rubber with deteriorate, but unlike windshield rubber, it is not exposed to the sun.

Goes to show you how expensive and worthless extended razzle-dazzle warranties are.
