Is there a good and safe way to unfreeze car doors??

Question

We had rain for two days straight and now it is snowing and the temperture dropped 30 degrees in 12 hours so my doors are frozen shut what can I do?

Answer 1

To prevent it from happening again, buy a can of silicone spray from the auto parts store and spray all the rubber gaskets around your doors and trunk. Also get a new can of WD-40 that has the newest hinged red soda straw on it for injecting into your door lock and trunk key holes. Then you can also spray your door hinges with WD-40 also.

PS, wear rubber gloves and safety glasses because the spray squirts up into your face sometimes while applying it

Answer 2

that last answer is the retarded statement i have ever heard. the interior of the car is not airtight. there are fresh air vents that allow circulation always. there is also the a/c htr plenum that gets it's air from the cowl area at the base of the widshield. this is not airtight.if cars were airtight, they would float like a boat, except for heavy nose down position caused by engine/trans weight. ever see a car float fo more than 5 minutes? gee, how does the interior fill up? the best way to unfreeze a car door is to pour windshield washer fluid straight out of the jug where the door meets the roof, and along the rear edge. let it set a few mins.,it will melt the ice. it would help alot if the washer fluid was from inside a warm house.

Answer 3

the reason Your doors are frozen shut is:

the air inside the car was hotter than the out side then when that hot air(high volume air) get an even temperature with the out side air it reduce it volume and shrink and tight Your doors

my idea is stick the handle of an spoon in the door's rubber seal
to make it suck air inside the car.

Try an extension cord and a blow dryer. But concentrate on the door seams working from the top down. Concentration on the door locks will only get you warm door locks.

After you open one door, start your car and work on the other doors. Dry the inside of the doors off when you get them open.

Answer 5

If you have good access to warm water not hot and enough of it at a steady rate you can use that, also try getting a tarp big enough to fit over your car and or a protected heat lamp build a tent like over the car and allow the heat lamp to work as a heater.
