Have another 10 minutes on Amazon and get some silicone spray to spray the lock and rubber seals to stop it happening again

Is that the Camden grey with piano black accents?

 

[siteguru]

I think that's the Matte Green

No. I believe it's the dull green with black camouflage.

We'll soon find out if MG's paint has good adhesion when the tape gets ripped off

The "Racing Green" paint was fine...............


But the door came off in my hand with the tape still attached





























Not.

Tape would be a better solution than door locks - would save a lot of weight - I'll have a word with MG.

Just the job

I had the same problem at -4 degrees C. WD40 failed, so I used a very concentrated solution of winter screen washer fluid. Did the trick in a minute

It's been -12°C here (last Sunday) and mine's been OK.

Nippy.

To be fair, that was overnight. It wasn't that bad by the time I actually needed the car.
