Default Winter (cold weather) cause door to stick!

Last winter, the doors (and now the trunk) are sticking closed almost every morning. It is a real pain in a butt and I am not sure what is causing it.

We have an Audi A4 1.8, has anyone else seen this problem?

It is definately a small ice problem cause most days if I pull on the door for 5-6 seconds it will pop open. Once the car gets warmed up all the doors are easy to open.

(Same thing is happening to all our windows as well.)

I am assuming this does happen on all the Audis!

Thanks!

get some silicone tire dressing like Westley's and rub it in along all the rubber gaskets around the doors and trunk lid
