LOL. The temp in the sun was certainly well above ambient, but still, poor engineering choice of materials.

Didn't see any paint melting, just the plastic, but still.

There's a building in London which has been causing melted cars for a few years. Here's a BBC article on it: 'Walkie-Talkie' skyscraper melts Jaguar car parts - BBC News

Yep, plastic. Sorry. Even then... this is like that damn sunroof glue in the ML.

French car . . . probably using fondant . . .

That's not even 100*F?!?

Have to wonder if there wasn't some manner of reflection/concentration going on (a la the building in London as mentioned by jcyuhn).
