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!

Oops, noticed my typo which should have read "I wouldn't...."


I figured that out, and was a little leery of that suggestion myself,
when I go out next I will stop by Canadian Tire and see about the
silicone lubricant.

The silicone spray should not affect the rubber. That is what I'd use.

I have used a "door Eze stick in the past too - it is a stick of
silicone grease. I really don't lioke silicone around anything I might
possibly have to paint in the future. That crap is NASTY
