My car doors, especially the passenger side and the trunk occasionally
freeze up in winter, car is parked outside, I have no garage. Unlocking
them you feel them move so that is implying to me it is the rubber
seals, freezing to the metal, and I do not want to force it and pull or
damage the seals. Is there any that I can put on the rubber seals that
will stop this. (next time I can open them that is).


I second the silicone lubricant bd wouldn't even consider WD-40. Spray a
rag and wipe on all the rubber parts. Finito!

We usesd to use glycerine all the time years ago when I worked at the
service station. I have a bottle that I am going to open up and treat
all my weatherstrip as soon as I have some time and nice weather.
