Haha I have never heard of such stuff, that would've done the trick!

Even if I bought this stuff I would forget to keep applying it, just like the winter mode wipers, I mean who actually remembers to put these on the night before it's due to freeze Whistle MY18 SCV8 Satin flux silver

Yes Gummi Pflege is the stuff to use. Easy to apply to door seals, lasts a long time. Like you I had problems with frozen doors. Pour some warm water around the seals to get in, Whistle but after using Gummi, no problems. Well worth it Very Happy
