Any problems with automatic window drop in winter?

Just out of curiosity does anyone have any issues with the automatic window drop when opening your door in winter when the windows are frozen? I don’t plan on driving it much in winter but if I do I don’t want the power windows messing up. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Never driven the Mustangs in the winter so I wouldn't know - That issue has been driving me nuts in the SUV though.

Maybe treat the rubber around the window and doors with a clear Silicone Spray? I treat the seals once a month with this stuff and haven't had any problems.

It don't think it will happen because the window doesn't sit in a track on the top. If your door can open the window shouldn't stick. All that can really stick is the bottom.

The windows on my Fusion will freeze.

Many a time I have tried to lower them so I can see better but they won't move.

If it does freeze just tap/hit the top of the window and boom it drops
