Yup - aerosol tin of Halfrauds silicon spray - spray onto a cloth then wipe around all the seals (and there are a lot of them on a Sport).

I just use multi surface furniture polish. It gives the same result.

I had the same problem on a BMW convertible, where the frameless windows need to drop before the door can open. Following advice on a BMW forum I used gummi pflege. Absolute disaster! Muck everywhere and didn't solve the problem. I'll try silicone spray on the RRS. Might do it today as prevention, even if no problems yet. |

Cheers for the tips I'll get some spray tomorrow. I think it was the very tops of the doors that were frozen not the actual rubber seals. theres a felt strip that probably should stop the water getting to the seals but its not doing its job so well |

Get some liquid silicone lubricant used by plumbers (Wickes or B&Q etc) . Rub a little on all exposed rubbers/trim seals with a cloth. Cheap and really effective and doesn't attack the trim. |

I would happily keep it in the garage but no one told my house builder that some people own cars longer than a fiesta. i managed to get it in once while i was offshore but its too close for comfort to be putting it in and out every day.

I know the problem ! I have a similar problem length wise so I have two fixed breeze blocks on the ground that my wheels hit before I hit the wall. Carefully does it . |
