Door FROZE shut
aight last night it started raining and then it stopped at about 1 am. and then the temp dipped to about 9 degrees. My door froze shut. i guess because the water slipped into the cracks and then froze sealing the doors. now i have a question. is there some way i can stop this from happening. like a solution i can smear in the door jamb? Oh yeah in case you're wondering, the way i opened the door. is i used the keyless entry to unlock the door and pulled the handle and i felt like it ws going to pull the handle off and leave the door where it was. so i went over to passenger side and tried and the same thing happened. so then i went inside and tried to find something to use to open it. I grabbed my dad's grill spatula and slipped in into the door crack while i was pulling the handle to release the door. and pried the door open. lol. i felt like my car was ghetto. i know ppl were standing outside like WTF?!? lol
ahh as for my signature. as soon as i find one to put there i will change it. i am still thinking it should be changed before the weekend is over. ok mods thanks for the ummmmhhhh..........delays. You know that thing has been up there for like 6 weeks and noone hassaid anything about it until now.

To take off your door panel you need to take of the interior door handle, and the little pocket in the panel that you use to close the door. Then you need to slide the panel, I think foreward (if not backwards. and be sure to take of your speaker grill) and then get the guide out of the window sill. Be sure that the door lock is locked other wise you won't be able to get it off.
