Beware - its minus 4 here and due to the melted snow my cars are really iced up. I tried to open the door of the TDV8 this morning and it was frozen shut so I gave a little tug and it opened but the top door seal remained frozen to the metal of the car pulling it out of the door retaining channel!!!

I use silicone to prevent seal damage when frozen, as it is recommended in the user manual |

Next time you polish and wax the car pay attention to the door shuts, especially the top bit where the felt door seal sits against.
