Not from accumulating snow overnight when you do not have a garage..I'm also a 4dr in snow country so interested for sure. Do you suppose mud flaps would help?

OP was talking about outside the door on top of the fender, not the door seals. which reminds me i have to do it on my volvo. door seals always stick in the winter.Clean the seals good and apply a very thin coat of dielectric grease.
He was worried about the windows because of them sliding down in order to open the doors, this would help to keep the window from freezing to the seals.OP was talking about outside the door on top of the fender, not the door seals. which reminds me i have to do it on my volvo. door seals always stick in the winter.
He said the rear window wasn't and issue. He was talking about snow and ice forming on top of the rear fender blocking the door from opening.He was worried about the windows because of them sliding down in order to open the doors, this would help to keep the window from freezing to the seals.
I had a windshield crack from letting it heat up / using defroster to help melt ice. It was an 80's car, maybe newer glass is more resistant, but I've never tried it again with another car. Wranglers are the best for snow / ice removal though since they are so small and almost completely vertical. Everything slides off quickly.I have the drop-down window thing on my Challenger also. I can tell you that my Windows have frozen UP, so that I had to pull against a very stiff window deal (at the top) to get the door open.
I'm planning on just cracking the drivers side window in a hard freeze situation - like when I'd leave the wipers raised off the window. I hope that the seal is just wide enough to keep snow from blowing in the window if I leave it down that 1/4 inch or so.
Another option - if you have it - is to remote start the Bronco and let it warm up enough to open the door without issue.
The Challenger gets the Garage, so the Bronco will have to brave the elements. Good thing it's 'Build Ford Tough', I guess.
I try to remind my wife not to store hers in the hatch of her Subie. Always leaves it there nonetheless...Rule #23 Don't store ice scraper on back seat
