Windows won't close in freezing temp (15 deg)

I need help!!!!
My '07 Mini S driver window will not close properly . It's 15 deg outside (NY). I cannot open any windows.
In the warm or after driving for a while .... heating up, it closes but I have to put up with cold air coming in & the road noise.
Anyone else have such problems and what do I do?
Thanks.

I haven't had this problem myself, but have read of a few other users experiencing the same issue. Not sure what the fix is or if there even is one.

Seems the frameless windows can be quite troublesome in the winter.
Best of luck!

Was the vehicle garaged or parked outside?

When you get it warm again, coat the seals with silicone spray so the water won't freeze to them, then she'll be fine...........

Yes. Mini is parked outside.

The silicone spray idea is excellent!
I will do it right away.
Thank you so much.
