HELP! I think my hatch is froze shut

I have an 87 trans-am with the electric hatch motor. It has never given me any problems untill yesterday. It has been very cold here latley and lastnight i tried to open my hatch and the motor clicked on for about a 1/2 second then stoped. It didn't open my hatch and now it does nothing when I turn the key so I cant get it to open. It was about 15 degrees outside when this hapend. Will my hatch work again when it warms up? Can I fix it? or am I just SOL? HELP PLEASE!!!!!

start the car and let the heater run for about 20 min- bet it will unfreeze it... or park the car in a garage with a heater running.... i'm sure its just some moisture thats sticking things together.

u can also just try yanking up onthe hatch a little to free it up.....
