I have a Seat Ibiza 1.9 SDI year 2001.
Since winter started and freezing temperatures I have a problem with the front door. The remote control works normally. It's only -1 degrees and by pulling the door handle I can't open the door. I get in through the back door, start the car and only when it warms up can I open the front door. I have greased seals and this is not a problem. I wipe all the water that accumulates at the seals and on the doors in these places, but it is enough that at night there is a negative temperature and the same problem the next day - the door freezes.
In the end I bought a car cover. After removing the cover, I open the front door normally, without any trouble. The problem starts when I want to close them - I can't! This bolt, which is responsible for opening and closing the door, falls down and does not allow to close it. (Photo 1.). I can only press a flat screwdriver on such a notch (?) And slightly raise this bolt (fig. 2), but it is still not enough to close the door. I would add that the castle was troubled by a defroster, reax. I even went to a mechanic who pulled down the lock, cleaned the dust, all the shit that had accumulated there. I think it's okay with the cable, otherwise the mechanic would have to say that the bolt works through the cable?
The problem persists. Is there any way to solve this?
