Silicone lubricant/grease should sort them out.

That's cheaper than ebay, what with the free p+p.

Move somewhere warmer!

seriously though, I think using a/c makes excessive condensation which causes the problem.

I give mine a rub with Augoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care sprayed on a MF whenever I'm cleaning the interior. Supposed to keep them looking like new, and prevent them freezing shut.

I think you have got that round the wrong way. Having the a/c switched on it actually takes the moisture out of the air but irrelevant as below 5 degrees the a/C is disengaged automatically

I think using the greasing which is not get freeze due to the winter is more advice.

Years ago, I used silicone on the seals on a BMW, it made all the fine particles of silt stick to them and it etched the paintwork.
