-23 C can't access my vehicle

[kwerk]

It's -23 degrees C right now and the doors of my truck are completely frozen shut.

Tried the old trick of pouring hot water from the kettle on it but it froze to ice instantly and now it's even worse doh.

Any suggestions?

 

[mohawk]

Where are you?

tried anti freeze?

 

[GravyMonster]

Orbital nuclear ordnance, aimed in the vicinity of your car door.

 

[Flibster]

Pee on it.

 

[Ucof]

Fap?


I'd suggest lots of salt water.
Or a blowtorch.



Also - Post #1000 for me.

 

[Gishee]

salt? or an iron? - get an extension cord and put your iron near the ice or steam it with the iron. also where are you that it's that cold? :O

 

[mac1st3]

Lick it

 

[Mat]

Salt, but make sure you wash it off properly afterwards.

Move somewhere warmer, -23C! brrrrrrrr

I doubt many people will have much advice here on a UK forum where we dont really see hugely negative temperatures, for us standard de-icer would be the answer but i dont even think that works that low?

 

[Ranger07]

Hair drier it.

 

[Firestar_3x]

Lets hope its plugged into a block heater or you have the correct rated coolant!

As did I

 

[Sin_Chase]

Boot it, repeatedly, hard.

 

[Matt82]

and when you do get it open, a quick lick of vaseline etc round the rubber door seal may help

 

[Freefaller]

Will it be able to start at that temperature or do you put an additive to your diesel/petrol or use an engine warmer?

 

[Gaygle]

Pee on it.

Would you be wanting to get "it" out in -23c?!

I didn't think you could use de-icer on paintwork as it damages it?

 

[miniyazz]

Man up and use more hot water until the hot water wins.. or short your battery through the affected area.

Although the hair dryer's really the best plan so far.

 

[fonzee]

1. purchase box set of ice road truckers

2. profit?

 

[Felix]

Put a jacket on the truck over night.

My first car used to do this when it froze, had to climb in the boot to gain access to the car
