Same here, it sucks that a day after a car wash my nice clean windows get streaked just from rolling down the window. It didn't do that in the summer when I got the car, I guess it's something to put up with in the winter when it's not hot enough outside to evaporate the moisture in the door.

Oddly, here in Dallas TX we had some snow and freezing weather a week ago, but my door didn't have any issues opening. i just had to crunch the ice that surrounded the button on the door.
As far as the moisture goes, I notice that as well. One day after a rain or car wash, if i roll down my window and roll it back up, i notice water streaks. It sort of worries me because that means moisture is in the door, and who knows what that can cause in the long run.

I think the doors are aluminum, so I think it wouldn't matter...

You suck! LOL

High temps below freezing for the next week, I hate winter ... although I do like driving around in the snow before they plow.

The Z has been in my garage so no freezing issue, but the Camaro has the same style windows and has had no problem with freezing.

Is the window freezing or the actual lock?

The lock is freezing, window is fine, goes up/down no problem

good ol frozen doors this morning. had to unlock with the fob for once. window didnt vent when i opened either. guess there was more ice than i thought lol.

My hood and windshield wipers got frozen this morning :bowrofl:

Mine never get frozen .... 'cause she never leaves the garage in the winter. She will stay there until the snow is gone and a couple of good rains occur to wash the salt away.

This TSB states that the door can still be opend from the inside
Problem is, I cant even open the door from the inside when lock is frozen
It wont open until the car heats up and releases the lock, usually takes about an hour or so to heat up depending on outside temp.
