I cleared it and scraped it as best I could 'cause I had to get to a gig, but sure enough when I opened the door the windows groaned, cracked a bit, then remained cracked open. The passenger window was completely inoperable; the switch did nothing. The driver's side did work, but the "one-touch" up and down functions didn't, nor did the window close itself enough to seal after shutting the door. Sooo.. I called the local dealership and took it in again.

ANY car windows will freeze under those conditions. That has zero to do with the TSB or "issue" since they were for water running down inside the door and freezing the guides there. Be glad that the safety system was there to save the windows and worked as it should. I burned out several motors back in the day trying to open frozen windows.
