Stuck frozen car doors

Slightly off topicAnyone got any suggestions to keep car doors from freezing stuck. Yes, I know a heated garage would help, but I dont have that.I'm looking for something to put on the door gaskets that will preventthem from freezing to the door frame. One was so badly stuck that thegasket came off part of the door, and I had to re-glue it. I've beenlate for work 4 times in the past month because of this, and my bossis not happy about it. It's a pickup truck, if both doors are frozen,there is nothing I can do except get a hair dryer and begin unthawingit, which is the last thing I want to do on a cold winter morning.I had this problem on other vehicles in the past, but for soem reasonthis pickup is worse than others. Probably because it dont have thosesmall roof "gutters" like most other vehicles I have owned. (poordesign). thanks for repliesJim

I've heard that silicone spray helps keep doors from freezing shut.
