Welcome to our forum.
Now that the cold weather is (finally) here, I'm noticing that my cover clips freeze up regularly. Lately I've been taking a cup of hot water out with me to thaw them out enough to work loose. I was debating getting a little can of lock-deicer and trying that out too. Any tips out there for helping to prevent this situation?
Speaking of lock de icer, My wife keeps her can of lock de-icer in her glove box.
I wonder how long before she realizes just how brilliant that idea is.... Lemme guess... it's right beside her spare key?
or you could always move to a warmer climate..... A buddy of mine used to tell me to use white lithium grease on the rubber seals around my car doors and sunroof....the idea is it keeps the rubber lubricated (doesn't dry rot), and keeps the water from freezing surfaces together....maybe you could use something as simple as a touch of vaseline?
Speaking of lock de icer, My wife keeps her can of lock de-icer in her glove box. As mentioned WD 40 should work well (the "WD" stands for water displacement). The only concern I have is aything on the clips will get on your hands and into the tub. I've never had an issue with clips freezing. Is something dripping on them?
