Hi,
I have same trouble with L/H rear door if car has been out overnight and weather has been wet before frost.
This is my second winter with this 2002 Tourer and during my almost 10-year 75 ownership i never had such a issue with other car(or other door)
Last winter i removed lock assembly and soaked it with WD-40 but no joy... First time when temperature dropped below -5 degrees same story again.
Next step is to order new lock assembly because its also more "lazy" than other doors when colder weather. At summer it works normally,but when temperature drops even near zero very often needed one extra press from remote to get this door unlocked.

Sorry,i didnt have any solution for you,only same trouble.
