Man...first snow fall fell a couple of nights ago. The next morning, my doors were frozen shut!!! I couldn't get it! It was so aggrivating. I seriously was late to school and I was out at my car for 25 minutes trying to get it open.
Does anyone else have this problem? What would be a quick and easy solution to prevent this from happening again? --------------------  |

Ok, heres what you shoul really do.
Use wd40 on the door locks and hinges. It's allways a good idea to have them well oiled. Use selicon spray on the rubber parts. It helps for a couple of days if its really cold. But a preventetive solution would be to use A\C whith intake from outside and not recirculation. When using recirculation the humidity builds up inside the car and when you stop your engine all the water freezes up along the joints. This is a sure sollution since winter here in Russia lasts for about 3-4 months and all of the above works for me.
