Usually doesn't but did today. Damn drivers door wouldn't even unlock? I had to crawl in the passanger side and over the center console. It's working fine now. I just got my Blizzaks mounted so I'm ready for the snow.

I once washed my car and then an hour later the temp dropped to about 5degrees. Was about 40-50 earlier. So my car was still just one big sheet of ice.

I used warm water and it worked.

Hm. The Accord likes to freeze shut, as did every GM we owned. The Focus-only sometimes. The stratus, NEVER. I need to dress the seals on the Accord, I think.

If they are forecasting for freezing conditions the night before put newspaper in between the doors. Used to do it all the time when I lived in baltimore, and it worked.....

well it rained on my alfa romeo, and of course it leaks pretty bad so the door was froze when i went to move it.

luckily kassia was in the garage with her top down just soaking in the insulated wonder.
