Frzen door locks?
So I've been an FC owner for 6 years now. There's one thing I've noticed out of the 4 that I've owned is they always freeze up during the winter time. Every lock and door is frozen solid almost every night. I'm tired of bent keys and struggling to get inside my car when others get in and drive home at work.
My old Maxima, Miata, and my 79 Sa have never frozen.
Does anyone have a solution? New seals? maybe an antifreeze solution rubbed or sprayed on the seals/ locks?

This is what i use for chicago winters...
lube your door seals with a product called shin-etsu greese avail form honda for some crazy high price. never had a issue with door seals freezing up. It is a light greese so i assume you can use a light coating of a very light greese.
If your key hole is freezing up use a lock de-icer... the problem with that is the design of the door handle.

there is specific lock lube you use, it is cheap.- I would not use anything else. First time you use it spray the **** out of the lock so it flushes it out and cleans it, lots of brown junk will come out. After that it will be fine.
The locks freeze up on the gate at work and I never have a problem when I use the lock lube.
Lots of locksmiths will specifically tell you NOT to use WD40
