Frozen doors

[carnage]

Thought this might amuse...

Two nights ago, late for a night shift, came out and popped the doors as normal. Mothing - they stay firmly closed.

Solenoids working, central locking working, battery fine. Turned out the doors had frozen shut after a snow flurry earlier in the day had melted, then presumably refrozen.

Kind of hard to pull open with no door handles though!

try putting some vegtable oil on the door rubbers (just a little) you wont notice it but it stopped mine from freezing shut...i also put some on the door locks and they dont freeze solid either anymore!!!

Silicone spray is also v.good.Dont use WD40 though,cos it wont do the rubber any good at all.
