Dear Metallo,

Hope you're well and stay so. Anti-seize is designed for use on threaded fasteners. It keeps water from getting at the threads. That slows / prevents formation of a metal-to-metal corrosion bond.

Used on a tightly-fit shaft, anti-seize is likely "to gum" when temperatures fall. That will increase the load on the wiper motor.

To keep the wiper shaft from seizing, lubricate it with a light-weight machine oil, of the sort you'd use on a door hinge, that squeaks. Even better would be a Teflon-based lubricant, which will provide lubricity until temps are -100°F, at least.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
