Haha, oops!

I had my window freeze up for the first time last night, the car had been sitting for a few days outside and with the swinging temps it froze up nicely.

Some observations...

1) The window wasn't stuck to the top seal at all on either door, opened very easily.
2) The window WAS frozen to the bottom seal. When trying to raise or lower the window I could see the seal moving with the window (on both doors). I slid a plastic card between the window and the seal to free them from each other and everything was peachy. After freeing things up and re-setting the switch everything worked as usual.
3) Another car parked for the same amount of time right beside mine did not have the windows frozen to the bottom seals, so maybe it's something in the seals along the top edge of the door causing the issue?

No issues with the car this morning, everything was back to normal even with the -10 temps.
