^ Yup, that's a pretty safe bet. Lucky the expanding ice didn't break anything in there.

I did wash my car before the workday started. I dont like salt covering my Z lol. But I guess its either salt or frozen doors.

yah, if you keep your car dry the dry caked on salt itself wont do too much damage. it's when one adds water corrosion seems to accelerate exponentially.

i guess turn your driver side door towards the sun to keep it warmer.

Also, holding the unlock button on the key FOB should open the windows.

If this happens again, is there any reason why you couldn't lower your window and climb out that way?

The windows did open. I just found it easier to get out the hatch than the window.
