m4nn13 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Morning all! So typically we have a cold snap and now my driver door locks up completely! Have to do the scramble over the handbrake to get in & out at the moment! Just wondered if there was a quick fix / reset or if its off to the garage jobby? And its definitely not frozen shut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veeg33 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Put some gummy pledge on it --> https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gummi-Pflege-Rubber-Stick-100ml/dp/B007TNOQDI works on mine, but need to apply yearly. Alternative cheap solution is some silicone grease or vasaline 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipwahh Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Check the condition of your rubber seals, perhaps worn and letting more water in than normal, which once frozen can cause issues. Or just wipe down the seal before a cold night to remove excess water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
