The manual does mention greaseing the weather stripping once a month but that's over kill. A good thick rubbed in coating of Silicone Dielectric grease from "Permatex" Does wonders.

My Buddy opened his 3's door last year after a rain and freez and pulled the lower weather stripping right out of the push in mounting holes in on the lower door edge as it had frozen to the body. Luckily..he was able to pop the strip back in.

He's looking for water leaks, not frozen door rubbers.... am I missing something?
