I had my Monte's driver door freeze shut after being dumb enough to wash it in the middle of winter. (a couple years ago) Had to use the passenger door. Then climb my 225 lb butt over the center console.

If you dry it good you won't have a problem. The last few weeks it's been a whopping high of 12, in the negatives with the wind chill and mine didn't freeze shut after washing. A little lithium grease on the weather stripping and thorough wiping you'll be good. At least it's almost back up into the 40s-50s this week.

Usually I keep my tires around 30-35 psi.

I've had my doors freeze shut in both my buick & bonneville. The bonneville was so stuck (both doors) i took a garden shovel, wedged it in the center of the doors to pry it open! (that car was falling apart anyway so I didn't care much anymore) The buick made me climb over the console...& there wasn't much room....

Well, because it was winter, I went through the car wash to get the salt off. Made a stop at Home Depot shortly after. I think opening the door allowed the water to get between the rubber and the door frame. Then froze solid while I was in the store. Came back to one frozen solid door.

I was worried that I was going to rip the rubber seal. So I climbed in the passenger side, and drove around with the heater on high so I could get out normally.
