Frozen Handles!!

[Mivec5RS]

It is getting almost impossible to get in my van on the frosty mornings.. The handle freezes together. Does anyone have and good tips for this??

Used to happen to my civic something awful.

Dried the mech completely with a hairdryer once the door handle had warmed up in some daylight. Then blasted the lot with WD40. Then I gave the door seals some love with silicone spray. Think I put some spray grease down the release cable too if i remember rightly

Never had to climb in through the boot again

Apologies if this is an obvious response...

Good old car wax is a great solution.
Get it into the handle where it shuts and then on the paint where the door seal meets, that should keep things free.
If there is moisture in the lock then WD40 in there will be good but I usually find its handles and seals that get frozen.

Mine used to open, then "freeze" in the open position. I could get in alright, but had to hold the door closed for a couple of miles until it thawed
