It's damn cold up here in NY and I have that common problem of the side windows being frozen shut. Does anybody have any tricks to get them open fast or to prevent the problem from occurring at all?

You could use a magnetic cover for the side windows when parked like to windshield covers this will keep the moisture out when it's parked I have a 01 Yukon xl that's always frozen since I moved back to PA, I was going to look for a cover but just purchased a house with a heated garage. I know it's a real pain it takes 30 minutes to warm up enough to get them open, I use silicone on all the rubber trim and it doesn't help.

Don't try and open it.. cover it with something duh ISO alcohol will melt ice fast... BE CAREFUL it's flammable you will want to do it with the engine off...
it's quite similar to
Aircraft deicing stuff

All good suggestions, but I am assuming that since this thread is 10 yrs old, the OP has figured something out by now.:D
