Cold Weather Issues

I'll add a #4 for the Panel SS owners out there
#4 the driver's side rear door takes 2 solenoid engagements to fully release it from the weather stripping seal
I suspect some silicone on the weatherstripping would solve it, but I'm going to be an ass and make the dealer take care of it when I get my next oil change.

Update: I tried the silicone on the weatherstrip and while it showed some improvement, it still takes 2 clicks to open it. On the 2nd click I can hear a metallic clunk as if the door is hanging up on something within the latch itself. Does anyone know how to adjust the latch?

Just pulled it appart where it all snaps together. Then took Rubber whindshield sealer strips and made gaskets to let it sit on.
Since I found you can use Helicopter tape too. The idea is just to make a small gasket between the two plastic surfaces.
I wouls assume this would also work for the dash facing noise some hace two.
Cols plastic against plastic is the issue and to keep it appart worked for me.
Also make sure the clips are still holding all the parts tight.
Other than that not much you can do with cold and this type of plastic unless you wait till it warms up. It is just a bad combo of parts.

The other cold weather issue I seem to have is with my remote start. Many times when my vehicle sits outside in cold weather the remote start will not work to turn on the vehicle. The engine will turn over but will not stay on. When I put the key in the ignition and turn over the vehicle it fires right up.
