Default 2005 Frozen Driver's Window

Hello,
Unfortunately or not I will be using my 2005 thru the winter ( Nothing better than the fun you can have in the snow ). BUT, The windows keep freezin up so I can't get in without risking breaking them. And of course I can't even close the door until the defroster melts down the ice so the automatic drop down of the window will occur. I hate to have to install a remote starter just to get in the thing defrosted before I get in. Anybody else run into this yet? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
wmartin

Let's see, I'm late for work due to frozen car. I forgot that when lunch time approaches I need to take an extra half hour to defrost the dam car so I can get to the diner. I finish eating and forgot that I needed to defrost the dam thing again. Oh, the dealership is still trying to figure out how to stop the emergency brake from freezing up to. But I don't mind that so much because by the time the window defrosts the emegency brake releases to. Get out of work, defrost car, pick up frozen kid outside school, defrost kid, park car..... Repeat this for 3 days..... LMAO Moving from the north pole is starting to look like a good option. Thanks so much for bringing a little laughter to my day....

Sincerely
Frostbite

Yes, spring is coming quick, but not quick enough. However by storing your vehicle for the winter you are missing out on the fun and enjoyment of traveling in the snow. There's nothing better than spinning a car around when your doing 50 mph with no fear of rolling. I never forget the first time I took my son out to show him the true enjoyment of driving. YES, I showed him everything he should never do in the snow. And I had us both pissin our pants laughing. Then I had the pleasure of letting him learn how to power slide, do donuts etc. SNOW IS WONDERFUL. And now, the news says another 4-6"'s tonight into tomorrow..... More fun..... If only I had enough cash to pay off the local cops...LOL

Hell, I'm warming up already just thinking about this...

Sincerely
Frostbitten

haha funny post. Last time I went donut running was with my dad in our Durango R/T. They didnt have the snow stacked all the way into the street so it appeared the the curb would be over a few more feet. To make a long story short. The curb was not where he thought it was and knocked the rubber clear off the rim.
