I have an '06 Dakota that sits out. Windows freeze shut. Other Dodge owners say just the nature of the beast?

spray the outside track down with some lithium grease and that will stop them from sticking like that ,its stops the condensation from building up so bad and makes them easier to go up or down,i own several dodges and i go through a lot of lithium grease in the winter time,i don't hane no froze up windows so far this year either,good luck.

Placing a Tarp or something over it might help but I too just warm up the vehicle fully and

then I can open and clean the snow or ice off much easier too.Some ppl use car heaters that come on automatically at the timer set times but they can be faulty and cause worse headaches and some models have factory recall issues so be careful.

Most damages that occur are due to extreme temperatures and vehicles not being warmed up fully etc it's always best to spend the time and the cash and prepare the vehicle for such weather like lubricating the engine with something like Lucas oil treatments ,doing a full tune up and performing a full lubrication of all parts that should be lubed and cleaning the charging system or having it tested etc.

I've had the whole window fall down in the middle of driving in extreme cold blizzard conditions mostly bec ppl had put too much pressure on the track and the glass mounts by trying to force frozen windows open , also moister tends to get down into the doors on vehicles causing them to rust and weaken vital parts too.

Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way due to windchill factors blowing snow etc you'd be surprised just how much using a Tarp to fully cover it over with will help at times.

One last note it's always a good idea to treat the interior like the dash with something to protect it from the sun light and cracks due to extreme temperatures etc.Don't forget if you leave the vehicle out in the cold winds etc that adding gas anti-freeze is a good idea too.

That's not just a Dodge thing. It happens to most vehicles in really cold weather.

I find that warming mine up for 15 - 20 min with the heat/defrost on max is usually enough to get em moving. You don't want to keep trying to open them when they are frozen as you will cause the window regulator to break and that costs money.

Lubricating your window channels with a dry silicone spray lube may help also.

Best of Luck!

A problem with my 08 dakota as well. But is a problem with most cars and trucks. You can buy a graphite spray. Or you can cheap out and put thin layer of Vaseline on the window seal. Both work well.

It happens on my 2006 Cummins.
