It has become cold here, which is normal. About 20 degrees fahrenheit to be exact. Has anyone else had issues on their 2014 F56 MCS with their windows freezing shut? It has happened two days in a row and it would not bother me much but it is hard to get the mail without opening my window so then I need to drive forward and open the door.

Just curious.

 

Usually with windows, you need to clean and dry well, especially in the track area. Moisture will work its way into the door, and cause a jam as well. Best NOT to force windows down, and let the sun defrost them. What works on frozen doors is to first wipe all the door jams and the rubber gaskets down to remove dirt and moisture. Using a cotton ball, apply glycerine, (can purchase from a drug store, it's clear), to the rubber gaskets. Your doors will NOT freeze shut.

 

Thank you for the tips with this. I will do all of those things tomorrow morning.

 

I'm curious - do they thaw after the engine is running/heat is on? I imagine not once winter sets in in WI . . .

 

They only thaw overnight in the garage. I checked this morning when I went to leave and they had thawed.

 

go pack!

 

Green Bay, eh? I live in the Chicago metro area. Did you purchase snow tires?

 

I did yes (blizzak snow tires), as a matter of a fact they are being put on tomorrow.

 

Excellent choice on the Blizzaks. I had them on my last Mini, and they performed very, very, well. Combined with the Mini handling, you will have few worries as you venture out into the "Frozen Tundra".

 

You live in Tampa, FL and you have snow tires on your MINI?

I'd guess you just moved there.

 

I had them on my first MINI, which was a 2005, and we lived in Madison, Wisconsin. Do not have snow tires for our 2015 Justa....
