And I also have a pretty good technique for doors. Masking tape and a little plastic bubble wrap (easier to handle than seran wrap) kept ice from covering my entire driver's side window and also from from getting in the door gap. Just be wary that masking tape will leave residue behind.
"These cars" stand up to ice and snow just as well as any new car.
Frameless windows freeze to the door frame sometimes, yes. But they do that on all of them not just these.
