Frozen Windows

Just a warning for people in the frozen climates. I washed the car on Sunday and it turned cold. The windows froze shut. That prevented them from dropping when you open the door. This caused the door to hit the rolled part of the weather strip at the top which then prevented the door from closing completely. I guess from now on if its cold I will have to make sure to dry the lower window sweep so it doesn't freeze to the glass.

Re: Frozen Windows

Rambo, the tires are great. Coupeman just emailed the same question. It has snowed a ton over the last three days and I keep up with traffic no problem. I just walked through deep snow, although my front bumpers cuts the pile down to about 5" high.

I can't see conditions getting a whole lot worse than we had the last few days and I mean it when I say "No Problem".

Re: Frozen Windows

If you think of it, telegramsam, next time, right after the wash, jog the window down a 'crack'. That will stop it from seating when you close the door. Works for me.
