i need this fixed asap. im goin up to michigan till friday or saturday in 2 hours. i drove earlier today and the car was fine and everything. that was around noonish i suppose.

well about an hour ago i went out to my 240 to go up to the gas station an my door was alittle frozen n stuck a slight amount but nothing bad at all, i pull it open n get in and go to close my door and it bounces right back open... so i spend the next 10 mins slamming and trying to close my door n it continuing to do the same thing over... and over... and over.. and over again...

its done it once before a few weeks ago when it was frigid cold out but it closed after a few tries. this time i cant close it at all. i decided to try letting my car warm up n maybe the warm air would do something, but didnt...

i cant even drive it cuz i gotta hold the door closed and the autobelt goes all spastic n wont stay on n driving one handed in the snow n ice is a bad idea too

this hapen to anyone else before?
anyone know a fix?
im at a loss with this one right now other then an idea would be that the cold is screwing with the mechanism and making it stick.

check the spot on the door where it has the locking mechanism, the one that locked the door to the chassis. Check to see that it isn't seized and try to lubricate it.
