Just curious, if it's cold enough for the windows to freeze shut, why the hell do you want to open them, lol

Seriously, mine usually work after running and warming up for a few minutes, sometimes a slight bang along the edge does the trick also.

Try getting closer to the equator. Alas, the evil cold is creeping in here too.

A little silicon spray around the seals helps some, but for the most part it's just another reason I am not a fan of winter.

Yes, Silicone spray is the answer once you get it thawed out.......I use it on the door rubbers to keep the doors from freezing shut, and the rear hatch since it likes to stick fast ....and in the outside groove of the front factory hubs to keep them turning easy.
DO NOT spray it in the same building you are painting anything in.....fisheye city

ok i got the silicon spray, sprayed the window tracks door seals the whole works. probably wasent smart to spray the door window wipes, but they had a buncha ice in them sticking to the window causing it to not open. but makes the windows harder to see outa. guess i could just roll them down now and drive.
