Winter conditions - Side door window opening
Hi All,
2006 MCS Soft top. Toronto Canada, temp -15DegC (~0degF), -25C (-15F) with wind chill.
What do you do with the framless windows in icey conditions. When you open the door the window drops a few mm. I do my best to clear snow and ice but the first open of the day is sometimes a little jerky/noisier than i would like (ice cracking).
Does anyone oil/lubricate the window seal with anything special?
Short of pouring hot water etc. (which could lead to worsening the issue if it refreezes while driving)
Also did mini account for winter conditions with this framless desing, as in if it cant move it stops trying?
Open to any creative suggestions.
Thanks
