The front row is for AC, and the back row is the radiator... If the design is the same, it doesn't matter which one you hit.. the whole unit would have to be replaced.
Yeah I'm going to remove the unit and take to a repair shop to see if they can fix it. The radiator works great so I refuse to replace it.

That aluminium solder may work great for a radiator that has a working pressure of 15 psi +-, but that condenser has a working pressure of a couple of 100 psi. Even TIG might be difficult because the metal is so thin. Good luck

It's around 47,000 tensile strength. Stronger than even the patent metal. It'll be 100% good to go. Trust me.

Haha those videos make it look too easy. I am going to take another look and see exactly what I broke and if I'm not comfortable will try a repair shop around town, they quoted me only $40-50.
