Title: Frozen doors!
Post by: bampotman on 28 December 2005, 08:56

My front 2 doors keep freezing and not opening. Its been happening for a about 3 weeks now. By the time I get to work there ok but the same happens in the evening when i leave. Has anyone else got this problem? What the best thing to do to get them open?

I'm getting really p***ed off getting in the back and crawling to the front!

Do you mean the lock barrels keep freezing or the door is physicly frozen shut? Either way try spraying wd40 inside the lock or run a little grease round the rubber seal of the door.

The car unlocks so I think it is the doors that are frozen shut. I'll try the wd40 and oil. I think it may be the rubber seals
