Window sticking due to frost

[timberman]

Went to get in my car last night and there was a good covering of frost all over,

Anyway as I tried to open the door to get in it became apparent that the window hadn't dropped and trying to open the door was causing the glass to bend as it was still inside the rubber at the top,
I eventually managed to get it open but was worried I might break the window trying to force it

Can anyone recommend a fix for this or something I can use to prevent it from sticking

Slide a credit card between the glass and the rubber seal (all around) to free the window before you open it.

or a spray and wipe of silicone spray into the rubbers and window guides, recommended to stop any squeaks, helps the glass slide easily, and stops it freezing to the glass.

Luke warm water poured over the door to get you in and then a smear of Vaseline (or silicon grease as above) on the seals should stop it happening again for a while.

Thanks for the replies
I've actually got some silicone spray knocking about so I'll give that a try.

The best stuff I've come across to stop rubber seals getting sticky in the Winter is gummi pflege - just put some of it on every bit of rubber and it seems to do the trick:

+1 brilliant stuff, use it on all the door seals.
