Frozen Doors

Nov 21, 2003 8 Replies

Hi -



Any solutions out there for frozen doors in the winter? Not the locks, but the doors.


Lightly oiling your door seals might prevent them from freezing shut unless they really get iced over. Oil should prevent moisure from getting in there. Also waxing the inside of your doors may help. I had about a quarter inch of ice coat my entire car once and I couldnt get in. Nothing short of a garage would of prevented that. Ever since I got a bonneville I've had 4 chances to get inside and usually one door will open lol.

Or glycerine - or even Glycol (propelene better than Ethelene) on the weatherstrip.

Vaseline, being a petrochemical product, is NOT recommended for rubber parts.
