Default Help me identify these lines

Can anyone help me identify what this pair of lines is that run the length of the passenger side of the car? Thanks.

Thank you! I didn't, no, but I did notice the larger diameter of the two is pinched slightly. Likely from something flying up and whacking it, doesn't appear to be from bottoming out? No idea how long it's been like that? Car is new to me. I knew it wasn't fuel or coolant, but refrigerant lines didn't cross my mind.

How big of a job is it to replace?

Thanks again.

Same thing happened to me, leave it, more trouble than it's worth. If it finally breaks, then replace it. You could go a lifetime and it will be fine.

Same here, mine has a small crushed spot and my AC works just fine, so until something breaks I have no intention of replacing it.

Thanks, gentlemen. That is reassuring.
