Title: My trunk lock is always frozen.
Post by: srivett on February 20, 2005, 01:55:04 am

I'd say it is frozen every second time I go to use it.  Is there anything I can put in there to stop this?  I'd prefer it to be something clean as I don't want my key all sticky.  Having to use lock de-icer is not too fun when it is really cold out.

Cheers, Steve

hmm could be that there is just a buildup of gunk in there.  Try cleaning it out with WD-40, then use a de-greaser to get rid of the greasy film.  I'd suggest taking it apart (its what i did on my door handles, they open flawlessly in the winter time :D)
