I want to fix the thing but I can't even open the door to get to the latch.

Default Have your "fat" friend push into the door from the outside.

It sounds silly but it will work. I bet you got ice inside the doors so that is not allowing you to open the doors. Force against the doors should break the ice inside the doors. But, be careful to not dent the door.

Default Mo betta you put the car inside somewhere warm and thaw it out.

Unless you cannot get in the car at all....even then, towing/thawing could be less expensive than damaging a door or window!!

It did it in the summer once too. I just drove it and it "healed". But this is way worse.
