Strange that it only happens in the winter. Putting more grease on won't help hold the cork. Get a tech to put new corks on - he should clean off all the old grease which will ensure the corks sticks well. Only use a small amount of grease - enough to ensure the joints go together smoothly. Too much grease can soften the glue & cause corks to fall off quickly.

I reckon you should take the clari in to the shop for new corks - its not that expensive, and they should then be attached properly
