Hi George.
Try spraying silicone on all the door rubbers, and into the locks, sometimes you may have to add warm water to the lock area, best to do this before trying you open the doors if it's really cold, also if you can park your car where the drivers door gets the warm from the rising sun.

other members may have other ideas.
