Having lock de-icer in your glove box is really useless.

That is all. :-)

my locks never freeze.:-)

It could have been worse -- you at a very remote vacation spot hundreds of miles from anywhere with your door locks frozen and the de-icer at home snug and warm in your garage... :-)

De-icer and locks huh? So, you mean there is a secondary use for that stuff besides spraying into blower scoops on dragsters and raceboats?
[Reply]

De-icer? Makes me feel embarrassed that it was 73 here today. :-)

Sorry for the troubles, bro. :-)
[Reply]

Same here. Even when I lived in Michigan my locks never froze.

Pint of vodka is much more useful, Warren. :-)

W/O a passport as well :-)

Piss on the lock. And hurry up and open it before it re-freezes.

Warming the locks from the inside - or to make you not care?

Then you find your door is frozen to the body.
Don you use the "pry your fingers into the frame" method, or the "Booty Bump"?

I've lived in Michigan almost my whole life and I've never had my lock freeze. My wife's lock on her car did once, but it was because the little flap that covered the keyhole was broken and we got some freezing rain. This was on an older car that didn't have remote entry, or the fob was broke. Don't remember.

Anyway, I have had my doors freeze shut many times. Not sure why this happens but not the locks freezing?
[Reply]

Yes. :-)

My truck is pretty new, but we had rain that later changed to snow, and the temps dropped to about 15 degrees. I'm guessing that either rain or condensation got into the lock and froze.

head south

Ouch! Warren, I understand your pain.

When it gets too cold, I no longer use the car wash. When I see a coupel 32+ days in the forcast, then I get it done.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Timely thread.....:-):-)


Went out today for a post office run......
Outer drivers door handle.... inoperative...


Crawled through the passenger door... pulled the handle....


Inoperative...


Bleh.
Found the solution.
Looks like about 1.5 hour job. (Yeah.... when it is warm out and your fingers aren't freezing) so I figure about 2.5 hours to disable the airbag, remove the door panel, get the lock assembly and door handle/cable assy apart, diagnose, THEN hopefully reassemble stuck/frozen parts rather than ordering a new carrier assembly....

Lovely weather we are having, si?
