We're in the middle of an ice storm today and my poor old Excursion was a solid block of ice this morning.

I remembered a great piece of advice from one of you fine folks to pull on the door handle to pop the latch and then pull on the bottom of the frozen door to pull it open without breaking the door handle.

It works like a champ and I'd like to thank whoever left that post for a most helpful piece of advice!!!!

 

Great to hear FTE could get you into your truck be safe up there will all that ice we are just getting rain here.

 

thats a good tip, i'll have to remember that if it gets bad down here tonight. supposed to be in the 20's and rainy.

 

I found the bottom of the door trick out of necessity the other day. Works good but I fear that the door seal will pull off sometimes. I read somewhere that putting silicone on the seals helps to release them when frozen. Haven't done this to my truck yet but I used to have to do this on my Lincoln.

 

Yup silicone spray repels the moisture. Thats why I use it in my locks instead of any type of oil

 

What Jim said always worked the best for me bakd when i lived in the cold. But if its way below and stuck poor water down the around the door seals and it will open.

 

well that tip actually came in handy this morning, all doors were frozen shut!

 

Man I am glad that we just got rain and I keep my truck in a car port.
