Paul may have nailed it on the head. I came across a post on the Audiworld forum, and someone was having the exact same issue (but a back door). Nothing they tried worked, he had been away for some time, came back and the door opened fine. Less than a year later he was reporting the same issue.
Given the alternatives, warming the car up is definitely worth trying. BTW Can you open the window? Just wondering if directing some heat down through the gap might help, as it should get to the source of the problem quicker (assuming it's the door module).
