Frozen Driver and passender windows
Hey Folks,
I was wondering if anyone was having a similar issue with frozen driver and passenger side windows due to frigid temps even after a 20 minute warmup with the heat on. I can hear the motor trying to open the window but it just doesn't
It's happened 3 times in the past month.
They eventually free up but its pain in the butt when you need to show your badge to base security.

Is the glass freezing to weatherstripping or is the mechanism binding?
I'd bet it's the glass. Try spraying silicon on every edge of the weatherstripping that touches the glass and you'll probably be fine.
I used to wash cars (for $) outside all winter long. If I siloconed the weather stripping nothing ever froze shut.

Yup, lube the weatherstrip...

Lube the weatherstripping with silicone spray and they won't freeze shut. Might smear the glass a bit, but they'll open.
You'd have to fill the door full of water to freeze the regulator mechanism.

In addition to the window weatherstripping, a bit on the door weatherstripping can help if your doors tend to stick shut when icy. For the door weatherstrip, I'll just spray some on a rag and do a wipe around the perimeter.
Another great use is to spray your snow shovel and the chute of your snowblower with it--that sticky wet snow won't stick as badly.
