Reply | Forward Message #1911 of 2035 |
Hi all,



When it is freezing outside the Type 44 Turbo Quattro's doors can't open, it
seems to be clinging at the front edge, seems to be opening by rear edge of
door.

Comments?

I leave it. I don't want to pull too hard, just some light force to open..

I remove all the snow on windows so there is possibility of sun's rays
warming car inside.



Max
