Water vapor in a closed area will tend to condense and freeze on the coldest surfaces the most. The rear door latches are pretty far from any heat source. There is a plastic sheet under the door panels. If this is not carefully replaced and sealed when any work is done on a door there will be freezing problems. Some shops that install speakers in door panels do not make sure they leave an intact vapor barrier and this leads to the same problem.
I was once told that the WD in WD40 stood for "Water Displacement." This may be an urban legend. Can anyone confirm?
