Once I unlock the door, it will not open because the door is stuck to the weather striping around the opening. I have to use a screwdriver to pry the door open!

Has anyone experienced this? If so, where you able to find a solution to this problem? It's beginning to drive me even crazier!

Thanks!

Maybe spray a little silicone, dry lube or any kind of lube on the seal or door face so that it will not stick...

Clean the seal with alcohol and as suggested spray silicone spray on the seal should fix it unless it hanging on something else

Put some talcum powder on the seals.
