How is this product during winter. Can I use it to winterize my door and trunk seals and will it help from not having a frozen door?

Hi Bob. Can't tell you about winter use. To be honest I found the product no better than most dash or rubber protective sprays.

I haven't used it on the interior door seals during the winter...I will tell you a little trick that does work pretty good though - plain old petroleum jelly. Unless it gets super cold, petro jelly works pretty good to keep interior seals from sticking in winter. I use the Gummi Pflege on my exterior window seals and it works great if you work it in. Other protective sprays didn't provide me with an even coat on my car. A lot of the newer cars have went to more of a rubber/silicone compound that is supposed to last longer and not dry out as much - I prefer good ole' fashioned rubber seals. The new stuff seems to be affected more by pollutants in wash water and rain water.

It is not waterproof. There are small openings between the pieces of wood which make up the center portions of the front, back, and side panels. It can definitely be outside ("Shorea wood which is known for its exceptional durability and natural resistance to water"). Regular application of teak oil like KellyM indicated will help keep the wood preserved and reduce the ability to absorb water. Will be no problem being outside in the winter. You might want to try and prevent the lock on the door from getting snow inside it, melting and then freezing.

Good Morning, I have not used this setting as the moist foods, such as strawberries, peaches etc have been frozen first. Put clean fruit on a tray, freeze and then seal. It works well for me. I also use this for meat, chicken etc. For vegies, I steam them for about 3 minutes, put them in an ice water bath to stop the cooking process, drain well on paper towel, freeze and seal. I hope this helps. Summertime is an excellent time to freeze and seal for winter. Best of luck with your new sealer. Elaine

It didnt take long to defrost. I did a trial run with this product. I placed it in a foil thermal wrap with a frozen ice container. Didnt last long, but my ice container was still frozen

I mounted it to the hood of my work car that had a battery drain. Works fine but in the winter sometimes it would freeze so I drilled a hole ina spray paint can lid and glued it to the red key and that works great. Been like that for a verylong time and I don't park it in a garage.

I don't know what to say. It would depend on what kind of door it is. If there is a door jam it has to be dragged over, it wouldn't last but if it is flat under your door, it should be fine. this is our second Winter to use ours, we're still very pleased.

Not exactly sure what you are asking. It CANNOT be used in hot areas of the vehicle such as under the hood/engine compartment. As far as keeping heat out of your vehicle from proper door/floor installation, I would say maybe a little bit as there is now an extra layer or two between the vehicles interior & Exterior. Probably not much insulation from the cold. However, it would not really be a noticeable difference to the driver.

I do not believe this is designed to provide any insulation in the winter. It is designed to reduce sunlight thru the window to keep sun out in the summer. It may actually keep you from getting the warmth of the sun in the winter.

had similar problems,but not with this product.I to have a insulated garage,but if the door is open for some time it gets cold.Then it warms up and the cycle continues all winter. Now, in early fall, I move all my car care products indoors for the winter

Look at the directions on the package. If not Google info regarding your question. I am sorry but my answer was not very helpful. I use it only frozen. Awesome product. Make sure you Google (hopefully someone responds in this forum) and get an answer otherwise you can easily ruin it .

I live in Indiana so we have had some cold weather however I have not been through a winter with it. It seems to work well all the time. I like to use the cover that comes with it that keeps the unit clean and from getting soaked. Hope this helps. Thank you

I wouldn't recommend it. The coating seems more like a polyurethane glaze and, unless it was submerged in the stuff, I doubt that the metal is impervious to the cold and moisture in a freezer. I would recommend something made of rubber, coated with an epoxy substance or a freezer-suitable plastic for such use.

I live in northern Ohio, it goes below freezing regular in the winter. That is supposed to damage the compressor because the oil is cold and stiff and starts hard. I went on ebay and got a Temp controlled outlet for 15 bucks and a little (the smallest they had) stick-on oil pan heater. I sanded the paint off a little spot on the compressor and put it on. It comes on at 35 degrees F and goes off at 45. If you are going to have a freezer out in the cold I think you have to do this to keep from ruining the compressor. So far it's working OK, this freezer goes down to almost 0 F, so it's running at 15 degrees.

It did not work for me last winter. Before this winter I used a water repellent like Rain X and that has seemed to work better. The Snow and Ice repellent is good for shovels. I also spray it in the wheel wells of my car to keep slush from building up. If you do this be careful not to spray the repellents on your tires as it could make them slippery. Also, you can get this product at a lower price at Lowe's. Hope this helps.

Hi Dawn. So the short answer is I don't know. But I wouldn't expect it to have any magical powers in resisting freezing. That same air-scape suspension that allows your back to stay cool in the summer would keep your body heat from warming the reservoir in the winter. Though, if your back is full, it is the first thing on the back side of that pack. I hope that helps.

no, sorry chuck. it seems to have worked pretty good in the cold on the molding around my driver and rear door, but pressure was applied when the doors were closed. good luck. test it on something else 1st.

If you need it 'cool' rather than maintained at a specific temperature, you'll be fine. If worried, add a small pack of dry ice. As a matter of interest though, I find that checking this sort of thing into the hold is better as the cabin is warmed while the hold is colder in my experience. Also your clothes are added insulation!
