And I should be able to fix her locks just want to know how to prevent it from happening again, cant see taking the door apart every spring. Were you get that chrome rear end cover (pumpkin basket if you will)?

          Hair driers folks, not hot water. the hot water becomes cold water, which becomes ice and then you have even more problems.

              I had a different issue today. I couldnt turn the key in the key hole so I just used my key fob and everything opened right up no problem.

                  I've been getting locked out every time it's much below freezing, and I'm about 300 feet away from the door (and any plugs). It's also too damn windy to get a lighter flame going on the key while it's in the door.

                      10 minutes with the lighter to-key trick in both doors. The key turns about 1/8th of a turn in the lock but stops after that. I guess something else is frozen in there. Next time it's forecast to be above freezing here? 15th.

                        your lock acuator is prolly froze. they develop moisture when you wash your car and when it rains. then when it gets cold, the moisture freezes.

                            My passenger door lock died in the unlock position, so now when the drivers side won't unlock, I just crawl through the other side. Works great. Now where did I park again?

                                It appears that's what it was.

                                I gave in and threw 50 bucks at a guy from Diamond towing to use a slim-jim on it.

                                The damned thing was so frozen that the front locks wouldn't budge. Eventually he got me in through the rear door. As an unintended (but pleasing) side effect, my mother is now convinced that I should have the underground parking spot whenever it's below zero. Maybe I'll finally get the other 4 plugs changed
