I have a car here that the doors freeze shut on.
This is a pretty recent occurance, I have left the doors open overnight and drained some water out of the door seals. Issue still occurs. I am off to search, but thought I would ask you guys first.....
Any suggestions?

I get it too from time to time.
Water seems to collect along the sill which i believe is the root of the problem. I give a few tugs and if it doesn't come out I try another door. Haven't been completely frozen out yet.

I have the fix.........
Leave your rear seats unlatched.. open the trunk... climb through the car and open them from the inside! ive had thoughts like this when i feel the handle is about to snap in half

Assuming your trunk seals don't stick. My tailgate seals do, when the doors do.
I had the same thought, and I didn't even have to leave the seats unlatched. But nope...when those seals freeze, all of them are screwed.
