Hi, does anybody have any suggestions on how to prevent doors from sticking closed in the winter time. My doors stick with the slightest of frost here in Delaware. I'm stuck!!

What is sticking on the door exactly? Is the ice welding the weather strip between the door and the body together?

I don't think there's an ice issue but it seems to want to make a more secure way of not letting ice and or snow be able to enter. You can hear the weather strip as you open the doors but there's no sign of any frost or ice build up.

yes it's the weatherstripping.
very common on camaro's and firebirds too.
i usually take vasaline and spread it on every rubber seal on the car.
helps fix t-top leaks too.
i never put it on in the winter though. i usualy wax the door area, and everything else that i can reach.
not with spray on crap, but real wax. that stuff you get in the automatic car washes is crap. you ever seen a car with faded liscence plates.? it's becouse those automatic washes take stuff off ( i.e. paint ) but don't put anything back on, if they did add real protection the plates wouldn't fade.
back too your answer. try what i suggested, so far mine havn't frozen shut. this year.
