I bought my 2017 GT on January 5th of this year, and I noticed that on the extremely cold days, my passenger door doesn't close. I mean, I can slam it shut, but it kinda opens again and the door shows as open in the instrument cluster. It's kinda annoying as I've had to drive around with the passenger holding the door shut. Once the weather gets nicer, it closes just fine. Anyone else run into this? I sprayed some light, silicone based lock lubricant on the door latch mechanism, but it didn't seem to do anything. I can see that there is a bunch of white lithium grease on the locking mechanism already. Doing some quick research I see people recommending lock deicer, which makes sense, but lock deicer contains alcohol and that will likely remove even more grease. same with WD40 which technically isn't a lubricant anyway. I'm just wondering if spraying more white lithium is what's needed or do I need to take the door panels off to lubricate from the inside?
Also, my gas tank lid wouldn't close the other day (something like -23C). The little black push rod (not sure what it's really called) wouldn't bounce back to catch the gas cover lid. So I guess that will need some white lithium as well, or perhaps some other type of grease? Anyone else experience this on a cold day?
Today seems like a warm day, I might try and add some lube to those areas. See if it does anything.
