Default Frozen Doors
Every time I'm out in the snow the doors are frozen the next day. No garage. I use wd-40 every time I clean around all parts of the doors. Anything else people use??

Default Gummiphlege - get it at a BMW delaership. It's a rubber treatement & try
putting it on all the rubber seals around the doors. It kinda looks & feels like Vaseline.

Default If it is the lock itself that is frozen - use graphite to lubericate the door. lock itself
The other moving parts should be coated with lithium grease

It's metal to metal freezing, meaning the gaskets do not seem to keep the water out. The sill freezes to the bottom of the door.
