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? --------------------  |

I don't use WD40, as it's a bit tough on rubber and plastics....
I use a teflon based synthetic lube, and smear it around the contact points. Seems to work. The biggest issue I have is the windows freezing to the rubbers. This seems to cure it. -------------------- JDM ST205
Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000 Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying. |
