If it was found in the morning that the locks do not open in the door, then moisture got into them. In the cold, it turned into ice, which blocked the locks. Castles can be hidden by folk methods:

  • Attach to the lock of the heating or a dense polyethylene package with hot water;
  • Send hot air from the hair dryer on locks;
  • Dress on the exhaust pipe of the next car fire hose or any similar and warm exhausts to send to locks.

You should not water the castles with water from the kettle - after a while it will cool and turn into ice again.

If the castle has already been eliminated, but the door does not open, it means that the rubber door seals are approached. You can exhaust them in the same way as locks - using an external warm source. The lid of the gas tank, which can also freeze, is heated in the same way. The rear gearbox and the engine compartment are warmed by outer heat.

If the water has frozen in the glass washer tank, then it is necessary to pour the warm non-freezing liquid for glass or even ordinary vodka. If it does not help, then the car will have to put into a warm garage so that the water in the tank melted by itself.

So that in the future the locks do not freeze, in winter they need to be treated with a special aerosol WD-40 or its analogue. Rubber seals need to be lubricated or silicone spray, or the same WD-40, or hydrophobic impregnation for shoes. For the door opening mechanism, a thick lubricant is best suited - type of lithol.
