Anyone else having issues opening both doors yet ?

-1*c here and I had to climb in through the boot to open the driver's door from the inside !!

Got home and thought I'd try it again - shut the door and couldn't open it !!

This doesn't bode well with cold weather heading our way, any suggestions please ?
 
wipe over the door rubber with WD40 if you think that's whats causing it to stick.
 
Locks frozen! Not too sure what can be done about it though, perhaps some wd-40 in amongst it will keep it from freezing up so quick! Going to be even colder tonight they reckon!
 
I thought the door locks were heated on our mules? I think when we open the handle (half way) the lock heater should activate. Or something like that anyway....
 
I found spraying silicone spray into the door lock assembly has helped.
had a frost the other day, would only open from the inside but not the outside, sprayed some silicone spray in it and then after a few try's it freed up, had a few frozen spells since and no repeat!
