Not at all ideal & will harden at low temperature.
If the car is going to be dirty in winter anyway just paint some AF coolant around the filler flap.

If you applied neat once a month in winter it would work. Otherwise you should find a thickened form.

I had to hit the door on the left side with a closed fist honestly. (People looked at me kinda funny after I basically punched my car). It popped open and made an unusual clicking noise like something was out of place. I closed it and opened it again and it was fine. No noise. Maybe there was something in the way? I have no idea. Basically it wasn't locked. Just stuck.

Whew this thread is old and I had completely forgotten about it. My door was frozen so that was my issue. Keep in mind I had (and still have) the 2015 model so I'm not sure if anything has changed if you have a newer one and just posted in the wrong forum. The door is spring loaded. Push the left side and it will pop open. If your car is still on and the doors are locked it won't (this is unlikely for many I'm sure but possible where I live because of full service gas pumps). But if your car is on and the driver side door is unlocked, it will open.
