Another morning with frozen door locks
 

Came out this morning to frozen door locks AGAIN. :banghead: Knowing what I learned a couple of weeks ago with a broken door handle carrier from try to force it, I used the comfort opening, lowered the front window and few inches and released the latch from the inside handle. Then grabbed the rear of the door frame and gave it a yank. Door opened right up breaking the ice holding it stuck. Work smarter, not harder :rofl:

So is it the weather stripping that's freezing ??

Seems like everything on the doors and all windows. It rains and the car is wet and then it freezes over night.

I know when the weather stripping gets worn it will freeze a lot easier. If you can get some silicon on the weatherstripping that will make a huge difference. GM used to make a silicon emulsion especially for weather stripping that was excellent but I don't know if can get a hold of that still or again. Some say that silicone will ruin the weatherstripping though just so you know ;)

Good point! My weatherstripping is certainly 21 years worn so you may be right. :thumbup:

Yes there is a very thin, smooth skin on the stripping and when that wears off it exposes the cells of the weatherstripping which end up holding moisture.
