This morning I had to pressure wash my car because I was almost unable to close the trunk . I do not have a garage so car is always sitting outside . Problem is I have been to lazy lately not cleanning any or all the snow off of the rear window so I have been using the rear defrost to melt the snow ..... but being as cold as it has been lately around 18 - 25 below 0 or -28-32C, so the problem is that the melted snow runs down into the drain track and freezes and each time I melted the snow it must have accumalated more and more each time until this morning when I couldn't close the trunk easily . Just food for thought . I haven't seen this problem before maybe becuase this is the coldest long run with snow I have seen before or maybe I have just become to lazy or maybe it is just a poor design drainage system ( which I doubt ). Anyway if you use rear defrost to clear rear window of snow just beaware this may happen .
