Q: Last year, in snowy, freezing weather, the rubber around the door frame of my new Toyota Corolla stuck to the metal. Now, when I try to open the door, I am afraid that the rubber is going to tear.

Drivers can prevent car doors from freezing by coating the rubber seals with a glycerin-based moisturizer. Using a car cover is another effective way to protect doors and locks from freezing moisture.

As the winter storm approaches, it is important that you stay home and off the roads. If you do have to get out and drive, many will face the first challenge of getting your frozen car door opened.
