Fokken frozen door

[Willy P]

Hello,

To my delight, I woke up this morning and after all the rain and snow we had last night it had gone down to a cool -5C.

This froze all the water on my car and particularly the water residing between the rubber seals and my driver's door window. My door was stuck shut and took quite a pulling before it would open

Also, when I tried to use my wing mirrors they frozen in the closed (?) position also.

How do I deal with these winter problems in the zed? I know you can oil the rubber seals, but what works best? and how do I work my frozen mirrors?

 

I await your responses ...

Ah, pretty much answered my own question,

With the wing mirrors, leave them out & stop trying to look posh

Apart from hot water to get them free, i've not found anything to prevent the mirrors freezing, as Darren said just leave them out.. can cause damage trying to unfold them if they are frosted

A little squirt of deicer works ok

Wasn't just me then this morning! Managed to get the door slightly open and after wedging my finger between the door and the rear quarter I managed to pull it open.

For the rubber seals I use this: http://www.einszett.co.uk/Gummi-Pflege.php

 

It works really well. Just wish I knew how to pronounce its name!
