frozen doors
is there anything i can put on my doors to keep them from freezing? they are really bad after it rains and then freezes. water runs in and soaks the hinges when it rains. and im not really crazy about exerting all my force on a door handle...im afraid its gonna come flyin off.

'Pam' no stick cooking spray works......theyre may be a better product but I spray down a paper towel and wipe the seals after a car wash up here to keep the doors from freezing.

Remington teflon lube spray. In the green can. Get it at a sporting goods shop in the fishing or hunting departments. It'* used for firearms and fishing reels. Spray some on a rag, wipe it on the seals. It repels moisture, and even if something freezes in between it won't stick. Put it on all mating surfaces (rubber/paint/plastic).
If you know the weather I'm having, you know it works.

Works like a charm. None of my neighbors could get into their cars. Mine popped right open. All 4 doors and the trunk. Taco Bell was great, and not another car there

It'* probably not a kink, as it'* a direct route from the TB to the Pedal, but it wouldn't hurt to look.
Thanks.
