What To Do If Your Car Freezes Shut in the Winter
During the harsh winter months, cars often fall victim to the bone-chilling temperatures that can wreak havoc on their various components. One particularly troublesome issue is the freezing shut of car doors and locks. As temperatures plummet, moisture present in the door seals and lock mechanisms can turn into ice, effectively welding the doors closed.
