Sand is sand reguardless of the location. In FL you just have a lot of it. My truck has never been to FL (going for xmas). My springs squeek all the time. Even just closing a door makes the springs squeek.
IMO getting sand in your springs and the springs squeeking is "wear-n-tear" and shouldn't be covered unless the spring pack has sagged an unusual amount. That would be like taking your tires back to the dealer after 40K miles and telling them "they wore down, cover them".
You friend is lucky to have found a dealer who will cover wear-n-tear.
