shaved doors and winter..

Edited: 11/6/2005 3:52:24 PM by lyinlow

ok heres my dilemma im going to be drivin my 2000 in the winter and have shaved door handles. im curious if anyone smears anything on the door seals to stop them from freezing shut. im thinking vasaline wouldnt be good for the rubber. so im up for ideas!

A good solenoid, popper, and plugging in an in car heater through the night will make a difference.

.. and if not, break out the coathanger haha.

thats the thing.. i bought the truck and for the release its hooked up to the stock lock and unlock so there is no aftermarket solenoid in it and no popper either.. so i need to find a way to make sure the door seals dont freeze if i can stop this.from happening im sure itll be fine!im thinkin though as long as i crank the heat up b4 i get out and use the remote start it should be ok

i've heard of people using vegi oil

Heck with a popper! Use a choke cable hooked up to a washer welded to the handle release. It works everytime.

this is why you buy a 300$ winter car!!!!!

just pull on the door while ur unlokin it...

i bought the 2000 to be my winter vehicle... being the minitrucker i am of course its moded im gonna try some sort of grease.. i guess if i cant get in ill have to stay home and work on the other truck thanks guys!

Seriously get the winter ride. I picked up a 92 escort with 60k miles on it for $500 last feb. The front end was wrecked but a trip to the juckyard fixed it right up. Now it is 2 tone. The hood and left fender are red and the rest is tan. That is a real 2 tone paint job.
