Is there anything I can do to keep my doors from freezing?
With the cold weather that we have been getting in Wisconsin (it was 1 degree this morning) I am getting sick of prying my doors open.
It's seems that everytime that we have a good frigide freeze, the doors freeze. This morning my gas door was frozen too... then the bloody pump had issues once I got the door open because it managed to only pump 1.5 gallons in two minutes. Anyways, it there something that I can put around the doors so they don't freeze closed?

Spray the inside of the door with silicone spray.

Someone asked this exact question last week. The silicone spray worked for him I believe.

I found that the mcguire rubber protectant stuff works pretty well... anything that has an oil coating but doesnt eat rubber should do the trick.
