Frozen Windows

[Quinid]

I know I'm not the only smoker here. My 2010 SHO windows, all of them, freeze shut due to design when I get off work in the winter.  The rubber likes to stick to the glass along the bottom of the windows where I assume water rests. And it takes about 30 minutes of driving to thaw enough to break loose not including my 10 minute remote start. Has anyone found anything to prevent that from happening? Like something to spray on the rubber that won't leave streaks on the glass? This is my first vehicle that seems to happen every time it gets below freezing.

You can try silicon spray, I use it on our van to keep the door seals from freezing to the frame.

I would start off by cleaning the excess area with a box of QTIPS and a bottle of rubbing alcohol and clean inside the gaps where the window sits thoroughly,probably have dirt,ash buildup that has accumulated over the years and see if that helps.  Z

Or when it's still frozen just run your credit card along the seal might keep it from sticking again.

I am generally afraid to mess with it when frozen, because my trim froze right after I plastidipped it and returned to the cold, and when I tried to unfreeze it, it ripped a chunk of plastidip off so I had a nice spot of chrome that I had to redo.

But without that worry, credit card would probably work well for OP

Silicon spray directly in the window channels, and on a rag directly on any rubber.  But all of the above are great ideas :thumb:

Thank you guys. I'll definitely try the credit card thing first.

Did it work?

Sorta. But you have to do it every time, which is just annoying.

Crazy my windows never have an issue the windows get hit enough to melt the ice away from the window although we have low humidity.
