Are you being serious? Far as I remember WTF has been used around
here (and most other non swearing forums) for ever.
The main purpose of the moderators/admins is to keep the peace and
not clamp down on every little thing. Many a time a list member has
inadvertently (and not) dropped a bad word
also armstrong, gemainhardt (surely spelled wrong but i don't want to look
it up) and i'm thinking probably others as well

There must be moisture in it that's freezing. You need to get it completely
dried out and lubed.
Taking the door handle off is really easy. You could take it inside and clean
it out.

Dry it, lube it, and perhaps check to see if the thin
plastic drip shield (inside) has been lost.
I'd take it apart, use WD40 to get rid of the water,
brake cleaner to get rid of the WD40, then lube it
Oh, and does it still have the protective flap at
the keyway? Nothing will work if it's direct
rain and runoff that's your problem.

Try some carb (or is it EFI now?) cleaner to clean out any moisture or
gunk or whatever it is, then put some good lock lube in there and see if
that fixes it. The cleaner seems to be mostly ether or some sort of
light alcohol so it should displace the moisture enough to dry things
out, or try

Yes I have used those little cans of lock deicer as they are basically
alcohol. Just stick proboscis in lock spray. I think it dries out

Methyl Hydrate encapsulates the water as I understand it so that it goes

Not much done now as the fuel is better - mostly because the gas

Your dealer and maybe Gary sell the real Mercedes lock lube, little blue
aerosol can with key-shaped dispenser nozzle, lubes doors, trunks, ignition,
lift gate...
Once properly lubed, need to make sure more water doesn't get in. If the
little door has broken off, maybe fashion a little plug

A piece of tape over the lock will help prevent more water getting in if

WD means water dispersant. WD40 was the fortieth mixture they tried.
In freezing weather, I would give the drivers side lock a shot of WD40

Graphite will repel the water and keep the lock dry, hence it will not

Don't forget that sticky oil is much like water in it's effect on door

Make sure you have a working door over the keyhole as well, it does

Agreed!. The most successful and long lived lists have been those which
have a very minimum of rules such as no personal attacks and no
profanity. Most of us live in a sea of rules, so a place that has no
rules besides one or two is a welcome place to spend our spare time.
