    Lithium is way to heavy below 35F, it causes the slip ring to pop out of position and pull the airbag wire out. Cleaned it up and just put a small amount on it. Still seems tight at 60F. Not sure what I want to do yet. Might just put it together to see how it works in the cold, might be that petroleum jelly is slipperier... might use pet jelly again cause I had no issue last winter and it was much colder then. Yep that's what I'm going to use.

    Did the trick, no problems at all in the cold like it did with lithium.
