Without mods you got freezing transmission brake drum, freezing gear selectors, leaks, crap heater, rubbish road lighting, constant condensation, once you figure out how to unfreeze the door locks you then gotta to figure how to unfreeze the rubber door seal!

:lol: :lol:
I'v just used some silicon lock spray and it seems to improve the unlocking on a sub zero morning. Doesn't solve the frozen door seal though!

I've recently applied a smear of vaseline to the seal of 2nd row door so at least I can gain entry to cabin, seems to work but not sure how healthy it is for the rubber. You might be braver than me to find out ..... try putting vasline rubber as keywords into google :lol: Probably your silicone spray would be the way to go for seals too.
EDIT: vaseline = pants , door seal froze shut again this evening. Cleaned it off and applied some silicone spray and will see what it's like in morn. Doesn't help that snow on roof rack been melting and dripping over driver door handle all day --- was a block of ice :lol:
Lumbering Jack:
I've heard that silicon spray works well on door seals :dance:
Saffy:
gah door locks where frozen again, but the door seal was good with the silicone!
