Frozen Doors

Now that we've had our first freeze of the year, I need some hints as how to unfreeze my doors. Is there some sort of lube or seal conditioner I can use so my doors will not freeze shut? I hate to have to pry my doors open. Any help or clues would be great.

just a thought, but if your car sits outside and it rains during the
day and gets below 30 at night, you may want to wipe down your door jams & spray your locking mechanism with wd40.
just a thought.

what about around the windows and weather-stripping? Will wd-40 hurt my tint?

would not do the windows & tint, it may harm the tint.
the weather stripping is a good idea

btw, the weather stripping is extreme overkill you only need it in the lock cylinder
