Bit of pulling and tugging or get in the passenger side if poss - start the car, turn the heating up and leave it for 15 mins - the heat escaping out the door seals should defrost it for you.

Then treat the rubber seals with a trim dressing like meguiars trim detailer or autoglym equivalent.

Or get the bus until the temp goes up!;)

Had you washed your car the day before?

I've struggled to get the door open on a few occasions. Seems like water gets into the pull in the handle itself. Try giving it a good hard squeeze if it happens again.

I've had this problem too, what's worse is when the catch gets stuck open and you can't shut the door!!:(:p
