October 31, 200619 yr Well we just had our first snowstorm of the year and this is my first Subaru. The doors were all frozen shut so I started it with the command start to let it warm up and was able to get them open. Can anyone recommend a product to lubricate the weatherstripping so this won't happen again? I've heard of using vaseline but also heard that this will dry them out eventually..plus it will make a greasy mess on the glass.

I recomend silicone ( found at the auto part store), moreover it is good for the rubber seals.
October 31, 200619 yr Author Thanks. Can you give me the name brand of the silicone you used? Does it make a mess on the glass?
