ps. I just took a brake cleaner spray straw, stuck it in the door key hole to keep the flap open and blew in there with a leaf blower. Lot's of water came out of the driver's lock but none from the passenger lock. It rained yesterday but has been dry for the last 12 hours and the car is parked on a level driveway. The water seal on the driver's lock is not working as well as the the passenger side and that is the reason why my driver's lock is the one that freezes.
