blitz supra Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Having a nightmare with this icy weather, Once i've unlocked the car i can't get in it, the doors are frozen solid, only solution is warm water around the doors, Just wondered anyone else having this problem? and would wiping around the rubbers with either WD40 on a rag or spraying them with silicone spray stop them freezing??

RedM Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I would imagine that warm water poured around the door would help. Just avoid the glass and hope no-one sees you being a big girls blouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how_supra Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I bet your heater works.......... bloody fuses. I wonder if I write to Toyota regarding my broken finger nails due to the absolutely ridiculous place they decided to put the fuse box, I will get some compensation AND still I can't get the stupid fuses out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By putting it there they ensure that most people will go to a main dealer so a short-arse 16yr old Chav trainee mechanic can get in there and do it for you for £80 an hour or whatever those robbing buggers charge.

I could take to Halfords and smile sweetly, Im sure someone would do it, but the point is, that its only a fecking fuse, I should be able to change the fuse, but I can't, apparently Im completely useless.
