try sil glide... the same stuff used to lube your slider pins on your calipers. It's worked for me in the past

hmm...now that this topic has been made...how can i fix the key hole from freezing? I go to my driver's side door, i slide the key in, but i cant turn it open. The other day i had a hell of a time opening up my doors.

if you have a lighter, get the key hot. or just spray some silicone spray in the lock, they sell stuff just for that purpose at wal-mart.

both my locks an doors freeze a lot. If my locks freeze i just use a lighter and heat the key then stick it in, if my door freezes i just pull real hard.

to keep the locks from freezing, get this stuff called "Lock Ease : Graphited Lock Lubricant"... put some into the key hole, insert key, work it in and out a few imes to get settled in the lock, then try unlocking the door, back and forth a few times and that should do the trick..
