Leer 100XQ frozen

Currently at the resort and able to reach some items but while unlocked, the glass door simply won’t open. Tried earlier in the AM and it was just not opening, though the center lock latch was turning.

There are some heat guns at the cabin when I get back down, but would it be somehow dangerous to try to force the tailgate open while the glass door is supposedly unlocked and frozen in place?

Any other solutions? Thanks.

Just let it thaw out if you can

 

I find constant pressure helps. When you stand on ice, the ice melts slightly because the pressure you apply to it. By applying pressure to the door slowly and steady, it should slowly open. This is how I opened all my doors that have frozen multiple times in the cold snap we are currently having here.

 

I think it may be the spring latches— a truck neighbor had a similar capper and it looks like the wires just releases the spring latches, so they’re constantly latched, but free to open once the cables are pulled. Is that accurate?

Will yanking there tailgate with supposedly frozen (but technically unlocked while the center handle is turned) latches do damage?

 

There's only one way to find out if you're up for it

 

I have had mine stick before when the center handle was turned and the latches were clear of the edges (meaning it should have opened).
I just kept bouncing and wiggling it while I pulled it and got it unstuck.

 

Warm water eventually did it.

 

Lubricate all the gaskets, latches, and locks with Silicone lube ahead of time and periodically through the winter. I find it keep them from freezing. Especially the gaskets. The WD40 version is actually pretty good.
