A bit silly question but since i am searching for the answer I decided to open this thread.
this has to do with the auto lowering feature of the widnows when you pull the handle to enter the cabin (a feature that one can meet mainly at a coupe 2-door chassis or more rare at a 3 door hatchback that has frame-less windows or at a 4-door coupe style)
I took my a while to open my cls's doors today due to the frozen windows which were stuck on the rubber frame of the chassis. I used some warm water (not hot of course) to unfreeze the windows all-around but when I was trying to enter my car by pulling the door external handle, the window didn't bother to lower itself a bit o allow me access. At the end I decided to pull the door (with the window still in upper position) even though I was watching the window to bend a bit. When I finally had the door opened the window could be operated by the switch.
Question is if I could apply something on the upper rubber seal which is attached on the chassis in order to avoid this firm "glue" contact when there will be ambient temperatures below zero.
Something like a silicone spray or a gummi pfledge would do the job?
I have never owned a frame-less door car in the past so I do not have experience on this matter before. Thanks
