I know that not a lot of people drive these cars in winter, but for those that do here is something that can be very helpful.

You know how the Windows to the car drop down a little when you open the door, then when you close it again they go up so as to cinch in to the door frame for a better seal? (They call this Indexing).

Well, in the Winter time it can be difficult to manage because the windows may be Frozen and NOT want to drop down to let you open the door. What you do is buy some Prestone De-Icer

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Prestone-3...Spray/16424028

and get yourself a little spritz bottle. Fill the little bottle with the De-Icer and spray along the base of the window when the window is frozen. It usually does the trick with one application and then you can open the door.

Note: The link I gave for the De-Icer (from Walmart) is WAY over priced on their website, but if you go in the store it's closer to $3.00 a bottle.
