Any car where the weather stripping seals as well as the SVX will experience this problem with the doors freezing shut. A way to avoid it might be to clean the area of the door jams where the stripping makes contact and apply a coating of silicon. This will not interfere with the sealing but should make it very hard for the ice to get a grip on the painted surface where the weather stripping makes contact and freezes. It should help with the problem you are having. Even a little vasaline smeared thinly on the weather stripping might help a bunch to keep the ice from bonding to it. Good luck. Mine does it on occasion and it can be a real b***h to open. Haven't been locked out yet but never say never
