10. Use vaseline to open your door when it freezes
Are you tired of being stranded outside in the cold because your car door is frozen shut? Never fear, vaseline is here! By applying a generous amount of this slippery, greasy substance to the door seal of your car, you can prevent water from collecting between the door and the rubber seal, which can freeze and make it difficult to open the door.
Just think of vaseline as your own personal door de-icer. Simply squeeze a dollop onto your finger (or use a clean cloth or small brush if you’re feeling fancy) and rub it into the door seal. Make sure to cover the entire seal, including the corners and edges. You’ll be amazed at how well this stuff works to keep your car doors functioning smoothly, even in the coldest of weather.
But wait, there’s more! Not only does vaseline help to prevent your car doors from freezing shut, it also provides an extra layer of protection against dry, cracked rubber. So not only will you be able to get into your car on those cold winter mornings, you’ll also be helping to preserve the lifespan of your door seals.
So, if you want to avoid being the person at the office who shows up late because they couldn’t get into their car, give vaseline a try!
