Weatherstrip adhering to door in cold weather... #1041005 07/27/11 12:04 AM 07/27/11 12:04 AM

During cold weather (below freezing), the doors "adhere" to the weatherstrip, making it extremely difficult to get them open. To the point where I'm worried I'll break off a door handle trying to pull it open. Anybody use any spray-on or wipe-on stuff on weatherstrip to eliminate this from happening? As always, TIA. -Marq

This is what the factory recomendation is for weatherstrips, and will not damage them. ------------------------ It doesn't matter what you do.........As long as you look good doing it !
