Default Door frozen open.
I came out to my car today and the lifted the handel and heard a crunch. i tried to shut the door and it just pops back open. I had to hold it the whole way to work. I let the car heat up for another 10 min when I got to work and the door finally latched.
Is this a sign of a future problem or just freezing temps?

Just carry some deicer with you and a towel that should do the job.
