Window freezing and won't drop in cold weather
 
I seem to have a problem with my 07 MINI Cooper. After the car has been wet and the temperature drops, the windows freeze in position and make it difficult to open and shut the door. Any solutions?

I think that will happen in any car. Certainly, I've had doors freeze shut, at least to the point where you could hear the ice crack when I opened them. I've never noticed problems with windows before, but that might be primarily because I had no desire to open a window when it was below freezing...

Keep the car in a garage overnight, would be your best solution.

Mine would not open until the interior warmed up.

I have taken my mini in 3 times now to fix because of this.

After a few times, the auto up wont work, it wont go down when open the door.

OR

It goes down when you open to get out, but wont go up when you close the door, So you have to go in through the passenger side put the key in, and press window up then close the door :sad:

They really need to fix this, some how ice forms at the seal, i guess because the car is warm and melts the snow outside, then it freezes when you park it.
