Stop trailer from freezing shut ?

[obob]

Is there any way to reduce or eliminate a 2 place clam shell trailer from freezing shut ?
I was thinking of trying to wax the rubber seal, Any thoughts ?

I put Pledge on my seals every fall. Just soak em and leave it on there.

For like 6 bucks at Home Depot I picked up some new rubber door seal. it was about 1.5" wide with a flap on one side. I put it on my trail so the flap over hung the back of the deck. I don't know if it works yet, just put it on the 2 weeks ago.

White lithium grease! Works miracles.

Install a thin plastic strip opposite the seal...

Vaseline on the seal werks also...

WD-40 .....water displacement-40- wont UNFREEZE but will keep it from freezing!

WD-40 works wonders! I use it on all areas the might freeze up. Never had any issues.

SILICONE SPRAY!!!!!!! THEY SELL IT AT ANY GOOD REPUTABLE AUTO PARTS STORE! Possibly even at Wally-World. (Not sure on that.)

I use the stuff on everything, especially on my cars and trucks, around the door seals, hood/firewall rubber seals, in the door latches and locks, etc. It works AWESOME.

Regardless, SILICONE repels water, AND it doesn't leave "crap" that will get all over your clothes nor will it collect dirt and gunk (like grease, vasoline, oil (WD-40, which also evaporates), etc.).

Silicone spray.

Silicone spray.

Silicone spray.

Oh, and did I mention, silicone spray?

LOL

Buy yourself a CASE of it and enjoy! (Seriously!)
