Which is stronger - Ice on everything or the force of the person opening the door? Those with kids and guests always find out the hard way that jerking open the outside handles repeatedly only causes more damage up to and including broken latches and exterior handles.



AS upallnight mentioned, lube now and replace what is broken.



Now, getting out of North Dakota during the winter months is only a drive away!


Haha if only it were that easy. The military dictates on how long I stay. I wouldn't even be here if it were up to me. I just think it's funny how it only happens to BMWs or maybe just me cause no one else seems to have a problem with it up here.

How would I get the driver's door to open if it won't open from the outside or inside? Taking off the door panel is gonna be tricky with the door being closed. I don't even want to close the passenger door since I know it won't open once it closes.


Also the central locking system doesn't work when unlocking the car.
