Your doors are frozen shut? Is it the locks or do you have the problem where there's water along the bottom of the door that freezes?

Are you saying your door lock is frozen? And the FOB won't unlock them? Have you tried spraying deicer into your lock? Lock-EZ? That works on my g/f's Honda that's been sitting out in subzero temps.

Ive never heard of this problem before. Maybe try taking your door apart and seeing if there are any problems you can see.

Sounds like you're not getting a chance to get all the moisture out. As much as I don't like WD40, it WILL displace water. Try spraying it into the lock thru the tube AFTER the car has sat in the sun a little. You want any ice to have melted. Wiggle the tube a little while you spray. Also spray some into the lock mechanism on the door jam as best you can. Then, after a few days w/o any more rain, I'd spray with Lock-EZ which contains graphite to relubricate the lock.

I'm assuming the FOB doesn't work, either?
