the windows froze because it was cold.. this happens on alot of cars in cold weather

creaking noises because its cold... this happens on alot of cars in cold weather.

summer tires in cold weather are not as grippy.. this happens on alot of cars with summer tires in cold weather.

see a pattern here?

And for the issue with your gloves.. umm.. take them off?

Not trying to be an *** but these are common things.

Dont you guys in PA get a solid winter with a decent amount of snow/winter conditons? Like in NY state type winters? Cause that's how we get it here where I live, I could never imagine driving the Z in the freezing conditions it has been lately.

I pray for problems like you guys are having in Florida. I think it was 70s all winter last year. I want cold, makes car faster!

As long as there's no snow or ice on the roads and the tires are working right it's great. :tup:

I had started a thread about my windows freezing a couple weeks ago, I recently noticed the seal along the bottom was not even touching the glass but got no answer if any one else's car was the same. Sounds like yours is, Every time it was cold enough for water to freeze my windows were stuck. After I noticed the seal I opened the windows and tried to bend it down with my finger so the inner out outer seals overlap. My window was not frozen yesterday (26 degrees I think) but it's to early to say if that really did anything or not. Obviously it also seems like a temporary fix but we'll see, I also sprayed some frost preventive stuff on it to so that is probably a factor. My windows are also wet if I put them down/ back up.

As far as noises I haven't noticed any and I have a roadster so I would expect it to be worse.

What about all of the salt they put on the roads to melt ice and snow (at least here in Missouri)? Cannot be good on the underside of the Z.

Mine will stay in the garage until temps are above 35 and crap on the roads.

I will try bending my seals, too. Thanks for the tip and sorry I missed your thread about the windows issue!

So this was the first cold morning (temps in the 20's) that I drove the Z. I noticed the following, that I had not had the opportunity to notice before:

The windows freeze. Hard. Even the drop down function would not work until the car had been in the sun for awhile. I was afraid I'd shatter the window every time I closed the door.

There were so many creaks and rattles I thought there was a ghost in the car (I imagined it was Leslie Nielsen playing with his whoopie cushion:ugh2:). I mean A LOT of creaks and rattles. More than any other car I've driven.

When wearing gloves, my attempts to turn up the volume using the steering mounted controls (to drown out the noise Mr. Nielsen's ghost was making), I activated the phone controls. Several times. Why didn't Nissan make the track advance button the volume control?!?:eekdance:

Not surprisingly, the summer tires acted like ice skates (this problem will be solved - Hankook Ventus performance all-seasons going on tomorrow for the winter :happydance:)

Anyone else have issues come up when the cold weather hits? (and if you guys in AZ, SoCal, TX, FL etc. tell me it never gets cold there I'm going to have a nervous breakdown!:eek:)

I thought of something else: I cannot believe how hard it is to reach stuff that falls between the door sill and the seat. It is like a black hole for anything that falls, I can't fit my hand in that space and have to move the seat forward only to realize that there is no memory and have to spend 5 minutes getting the seat back to where it was.
