I have an icloud slide show with over a dozen photos because it includes how to repair a worn motor as well as freeze-proof the thing.

Actually i found it. But the search above will find most of my repair threads.

The problem and solution for frozen handles is covered in the DLA repair.

A sliding metal part will freeze solid to the body of the latch assembly woth one single drop of water which usually gets there from condensation.

Some Teflon and low tempn grease eliminated that issue.

BMW thought the cable was freezing and the fix was to add a little rubber nipple at the top. Did nothing as everyone who had their door handle freeze is aware.

Never had a tweaked handle freeze no matter the weather.
