      When I had my MK3 Jetta GLX in very cold weather both of my front doors would not work from the inside or outside until the car got warmed up, could never figure out what was wrong but involved me climbing from the back to front a few times.

              i think the little grease sleeve freezes up and the piece that goes in it simply isn't able to move.

                    I had the same problem with my 97 GLX Vr6, the best way to fix it is wait till its not working (usually when it is damn cold) and go inside the door and usually there is to much slop on the handle linkage if you can find out where it is not engaging to the rod that actually moves the opening mech you can sometimes bend stuff back to normal it took me a few tries but in the end it works fine. the only **** part is to find the problem you have to freeze your hands

                          Hey kids your doors are/were frozen to the door seals. Make sure you lube the door seals with silicone spray or they will freeze shut again. I just serviced a car today with the same problem. It was a 1997 Jetta. Just a heads up.
