Word to the wise... do not attempt to roll down your windows when they are covered in ice. Window regulator/motor = $90

 

Mine pretty much don't work if it is really cold. They seem to like the doors freeze to the seals.

 

Mine too, always froze.

Whats with this!?!?

 

The seals around the windows are not 100% waterproof. There will always be a miniscule gap around the windows. As we all know, glass is not perfectly smooth. The water freezes into the tiny holes and scratches of the glass and then to the rubber seals. Thus bonding the glass and rubber together. If you use a scraper, you can work it in between the seal and glass to weaken the bond and then you can lower the windows. Best bet is to scrape off all the snow and ice on the window as well. HTH.

 

What I do as a habit is go around the truck and the windows I might be opening on that drive I open and slam the door shut a couple times to loosen up the ice in the weatherstripping. Be sure to give it a nice good slam but not too hard or you could be looking at more than just a stupid motor to replace.

 

How did this happen??? Did you empty your freezer and attach the contents to your D?

Or is this one of those instances where frozen water mysteriously falls from the sky? (I've heard rumors about this phenomenon but never actually verified it. Personally, I think it's just another internet myth...)

 

I've been getting that ice every morning here and have yet to have a hard working motor getting the motor down.

 

The other thing you can do is allow just a small bit of movement going up (not closing the window up all the way tight). When you get in after the freeze (the next morning) press the window up like you are finally fully closing the window and they will pop loose. Basically the window and seal press against eachother when just moving down, however when going up there is vertually nothing so it pulls free. Just don't leave it too far down that the top seal is exposed, I'm talking just slightly.

 

If you have ever lived in the midwest or up north, you'd understand; nonetheless, here's your explanation:

It snowed all day... I drove home from work with the heat on, which melted the snow on the windows... then the truck sat in the driveway overnight with moisture on the windows with temps in the teens.

 

I've never had this happen either. It may be that my window motor was going to fail soon anyway, but I didn't have any issues before this.
