Opee Registered: 24/08/09 Posts: 110 Loc: Oswestry, Shrops	Anybody else have a problem with unlocking their drivers door in cold weather? Everytime we get a major frost my drivers door won't unlock, I have to climb through the passenger side and wrench the handle open. Any ideas why? Can't hear any water in the door. Thanks. _________________________ Fiesta ST 55 plate, pre facelift, tints, K&n, Mongoose flexi, double din pioneer. piece of crap thrashed engine. www.FIESTA-SI.COM

I find GT85 is a winner ideal on the Alfa drop windows that tend to freeze to the rubber so you cant get in GT85 has a nice PTFE coating when it drys and smells gr8 too _________________________ The Mk6 Fiesta grew in size & became a Mk3 Mondeo it now it's shrinking to a Mk3.5 Focus ST3

I've found the same and it depends which side of the street I'm parked on as to which door is frozen in the morning! _________________________

FrenchieBex Registered: 04/09/10 Posts: 26 Loc: France	Same here! Also my car boot is being impossible at the moment to open! I find putting a cover on it solves all problems, of course when i can be arsed to find it and put it on whilst being snowed upon!

ChrisCumbria Driving as Daily Registered: 26/06/05 Posts: 23772 Loc: Whitehaven, Cumbria	Both mine were stuck this morning, so had to dive over the back seat through the boot which fortunately did open. A waste of effort for me though as we got turned round and sent home from work again. _________________________
