’s manual sliding door might stick, or refuse to open, because the door seals too well. In some cases, this can even cause the door handle to break when you try to open the door.Of course, there could be a chance that ice or rust is at play. If it’s a matter of ice, you simply need to warm your vehicle up for a few minutes and let the heat thaw the ice on your door. However, rust is a different story.

that you do not want to void.View full answer
