Update for people who live in winter climate and wash your vehicle.

The door latch and pad on the door froze together and pulled the plastic pads off the door. Fortunately nothing was broken and I just reinstalled it. Something to keep an eye on, I will need to wipe the area down and ensure its dry from now on.

Secondly water got into the spring mechanism and froze up.


After driving the car and warming it up it appears to be mostly fully functional now.


I can't remember if I can take the assembly apart but I may consider using some silicone lube on the springs to mitigate this happening again.
