    Default Frozen doors..

    Any suggestions on getting them open?

    It's cold enough where I shut the garage door back and came back inside to ask what you guys thought.

    By the way, the door locks are not the problem, just the actually doors.

    I've used an electric heat gun around the door edges for about 20 mins now.

    I tried that after I tried breaking the ice around the seals...

    That's all that I've tried so far though.

    Heat Gun
    Brute Force
    Rag with hot water
    Warm water in a cup

    This is slightly frustrating because I thought about putting vaseline around the seals last night to help prevent this from happening.

    I made sure to avoid scorching the paint. That's probably why I was out there forever. Haha.

    Also, pissing on it is out of the question. My car will not bear the humility. I'll just wait. LOL

    Try to find a space heater or something for your garage to heat it up or leave the door from your house to garage open so your garage gets above freezing.

    There is only a small spot of frost on the trunk and top.

    The passenger side is the same way, but less flexible.
