[V8] De-ice-it

[S_Matus]

I fill an old De-Ice-it bottle with Rubbing alcohol.  It works every time.  The problem is that you must lube the lock after the alcohol. (wd-40 or marine lube(Lithium spray)

Well it finally happened.  In all the years of Audi ownership I 
actually 
couldn't get into the car this morning.
I managed to explode the plastic "light key" housing whilst trying both 
locks.  I imagine after all the water and high humidity that things are 
frozen solid in there.

Since I've never had the frozen lock issue with Audi, can anyone tell 
me 
whether or not the lock-de-ice'r is worth screwing with?
My gut tells me no...

On the plus side the 200 EFI car fired right up and got me to work no 
problem.
