Go to the dealer, they probably need to add some lube. Mine roll down in cold temps.

The last thing that you want to be doing is attempting the get the window down when it is froze. The 350Z window motors are so unreliable, I think they would last about 30 seconds before burning out.

At the auto store you’ll find a spay can called “Ice Off” or “Ice Melt” on something like that. Spray the outside window around the doorframe.

I've been to the McDonalds drive-thru widow in the morning, and had to open the door to get my food. Pretty embarrassing.
