Hi! So today I needed to go out and when I got to the car (which is parked outdoors with about -20 °C) and I couldn't open it.
When I first tried with the remote control I could see the inside light coming on but nothing else happened (the fuel flap did lock/unlock, at least).
Then I tried to open it with the key but the locks where completely frozen. I put some lock de-icer and it eventually worked but had to really force it.
And finally when I came back and tried to close the car, the pin in the door wouldn't go down, so now I had to leave my car open down there.
Now, the question is: Is there any way to reinforce the system in order for it to resist all that stress needed to open and close the doors with these temperatures?
Thanks!
