Is there anything that can possibly be wiped on the weatherstripping on the door frames that would prevent the door from freezing closed?

just don't wash it if it is too cold,,
i did this just last night, i washed my Ex when leaving work , it was -15 c out,,
one way to avoid the doors from freezing is to open them and just wipe down the seals with a dry rag, to get the water off,
another is to leave the heat on for about 15 minutes in the defrost position, that will make enough heat to dry them
 






i have never had my doors freeze shut but my windows freeze closed all of the time none of my previous explorers have had this happen so often
 






try a DRY FILM Silicone Lubricant. I use it on aircraft door seals.
 






wipe them down with cooking oil/vegetable oil.
 






Peanut butter maybe? I've used it in the past to keep Fiberglass CB antennas from icing up. Figured I would throw something obscure out there, but you never know, it might work.
