    If the dust around the actuator bar keeps building up then that means it is going to clog up the inside after few years.

    Why can't we wipe the bar clean and then again after each time you bring it out and in. this was you can clean it then at the end: apply some grease. It will keep the actuator is good conditioning.

    If you look close on the bar there little specs of dust because it sticks to the grease. If you clean it then you end up wiping off the grease that manufacturers put on the actuators.
