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.
This common winter woe not only poses an inconvenience but can also lead to more significant problems. The frozen doors make it difficult for drivers to access their vehicles, leading to delays and frustration during already challenging weather conditions. Moreover, attempting to force open a frozen door can result in damage to the door seals, hinges, or even the locking mechanism itself. If you find yourself stranded with a frozen car door or lock, find some helpful tips below for how to melt the ice so you can be on your way. Meanwhile, we encourage you to buy your next vehicle from the Chris Auffenberg Family of Dealerships in the St. Louis and Cape Girardeau, MO areas.
