Blocko Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Had to come to work today in the Mrs' Fiat 500 and I'm 6'4! Couldn't open either door this morning due to the frost. I tried water and de-icer and spent about 20mins trying all to no avail. I've had frameless doors before but I've never failed to get in a car due to ice. When I resigned myself to taking her car her door opened right away with no issues 😡 Quote
veeg33 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Get some gummy pledge -> https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gummi-Pflege-Rubber-Stick-100ml/dp/B007TNOQDI and treat them seals around your doors. Seals on our Zed are pretty tired now and moisture gets trapped in-between window and stiffen up seal......hence frozen up......Give them Gummy Pledge ago, have a search on google, as you might get them cheaper. Worth a try. Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 you can also use silicone grease or vaseline since they both won't perish rubber. I used to use silicone grease, just a very thin coat around the door seals. never had any issues. Quote
Impressed Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Not being funny but..... I had this same problem the other day, even the boot would not open. Messed about for 10 minutes with hot water etc. Then I tried the key in the lock instead of the remote and turned it. Opened straight away. Quote
