first issue with my GT

Have my GT since beginning of July and very happy with it
Just had a small issue this morning. It was the first night where we had temperatures below 0 as it also rained a bit there was a lot of ice on the car. As a result, when I opened the door the window did not go down as it should I could open the door but could not close it. Had to wait a bit after I scraped the ice off and the heating of the car on full before I could close the door.

Also not sure if opening the door with the window not going down could damage the system

Not really GT related as you could get the same issue on any coupe to be fair.

The main reason for the window going down is to make it easier to close the door, by preventing a build up of air pressure in the cabin when the door closes. I periodically apply conditioner to the weatherstrip to keep it soft and pliable, making it easier for the window to go up and down.

Normal. Happens to mine every winter. It sucks, though.

Not really an issue...are you sure the window didn't just freeze to the molding?
