| Description of the problem | Sliding doors freeze shut on minivan every time that the temperature gets below freezing and there is moisture in the air. Door handle broke off on the driver side sliding door and had the handle replaced. The toyota dealership put baby oil on the weather stripping to hopefully reconcile this from happening again, however 2 days later the temperature was 24 f and both of the sliding doors were again frozen shut. In order to open the doors you have to climb over the front seats to push against the doors from the inside. It does not matter if the car warms up for 20 minutes they still remain frozen and they have frozen shut after driving less than 10 miles after getting them open. |
