You can break an OEM dhc on the very first time if it's below freezing and ice formed on the door actuator. That is the most common form of self destruct with the DHC. You have to learn if the handle feels stuck down do NOT pull harder. The problem is not frozen door seal it's a frozen door actuator.
Paying more will not improve your odds against a freeze related destruction you have to learn the sign of a frozen actuator and never pull firmly on a handle that is frozen.
If the handle won't move more than 6-8mm before sticking down do not pull hard. Open the door from the inside and drive until the inside of the car warms up enough to defrost the actuator. Also when you ever open up a door; fix the actuator to reduce the odds of freezing see my actuator fix thread.
