Axle grease:
It acts like gum below 40° F, and glue at -30° F.
Every winter I get calls from people that opened the sunroof at or below 30° F to vent heat from a bad mono valve = breaking sunroof parts or stripping the motor drive gear.
It attracts dust/grit like a powerful magnet = binding/galling.
It is a nightmare to clean/remove, and always involves disassembly + replacing parts.
Here are the current choices.
