    I stumbled across this looking to find some of the latch covers. Amusing comments, but there is an issue with the latch itself, not just the lock cylinder. Even when unlocked, they will freeze in the latched position. This is definitely a design flaw / not intended for icy conditions specific to these latches. I definitely miss the old school T handles, but those suck in many other ways. The first time this happened, I stood on the bumper and peed on it. Now I carry a spray can of windshield deicer. Works great.
