From my experience, it's not the rubber on the bottom of your door that's giving you the sticking problem, it's the rubber seals on the sides and top of the door that melts a bit and adheres to the door. I had the problem and with warm soapy water clean thoroughly the rubber portion that comes in contact with the door when it's down. After that cleaning and letting it dry, rub petroleum vaseline along that same area of the rubber seal that comes in contact with your door. You will see that it will stick no longer. I recommend doing this every 6 months or so, especially in hot weather.
