Anybody know the best solution to stop your doors freezing so you cant open them it took me 10/15mins this morning to get in my car lol

so any ideas will be good

 

[vladof]

What exactly happened? You were pushing the button on the remote but none of the doors were unlocking?

 

[Eklipze3k]

Assuming you mean the doors were stuck shut with the frost, vaseline on the rubber seals.

I have had this before, the actual door latch mechanism seizes up, right?

That's a good preventative idea, but to sort the problem, pour warm (not boiling) water around the edges of the door.

I'm sure our Scandinavian friends will be along with more ideas soon..!

Yes bolty got it in one and yellow peril i did that but still took that long to get in

will put some Vaseline on later (sounds abit wrong)

thanks jamo

better off using silicone oil as petrolium jelly has a tendency to perish rubber seals

I put mine in the garage overnight during the winter-seems to do it

Or you can move to sunny South Africa. I would go for the silicon spray. If you don't have, try some Spray and Cook (the stuff you spray in a pan before doing eggs) on the doors as a short term solution.
