Looks like a decent amount of the white stuff there.. How did the car drive? Do you have dedicated winter tires?

Hey has anyone had a problem with their car door not wanting to close with the nice easiness (in winter)the door would normally in warmer weather? I noticed my door has to be slammed and I baby my vehicles so it takes to or 3 progressivly harder closing attempts to get it to stay shut. It gets much worse as the weather gets colder.....and it normally almost falls shut under its own weight.. Anyone experience this and what was the remedy?

Yeah, half of the plastic snow brush was on the floor in the back where I had thrown it ( obviously not hard enough ) and the other half ........... dam heavy door. ![Icon38](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/icon38.gif)

Will do, any special type or brand for that... Jiggaloo? lol![Big Grin](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I would use some white lithium grease on the door hinges and latches.
