How well does it work when in the HOT sun. Are there any issues when used on very hot days? (ie. melting)

I forgot to mention that I have it on my dashboard, perhaps it would be better in a different location.

Actually it gets very sticky, so you have to be careful of what you put on it ( I accidently brushed my leather bag over it and had to wipe it off), but it is ok with my cell phone so far. It does have a very sticky surface ( The good news is that the item that you put on it doesn't move)

LIving in Florida I would not recommend it for an installation on the upper part of the dash and found it would NOT stick to the straight portion of the dash or on the door panels.

I can't answer that because I am using this inside as an anchor for my desktop trackball at work. Not very many temperature extremes in there.

I haven't been aware of any temperature sensitivity issues, although I imagine it, as any plastic type material, would be susceptible. I use it primarily to hold on to my car keys as I'm getting in and out. It also works pretty well keeping my sunglasses and cellphone from bouncing around the car.

It works great. If you leave it in the car with the Sun heating the interior the plastic face comes off. I purchased two and it happened to both of them, but it doesn't keep it from working properly. I like mine.

yes, it works great! It does get hot pretty quickly, so keep it on something that can take the heat.

Hey there Ms Amanda Well I actually bought that steering wheel cover for my lil brother as birthday gift. I can not answer this question based off of my own experience BUT I called my lil brother and he said even when his car is sitting directly in the sun the steering wheel never too hot to touch just a lil warm. So all in all I say this is a great buy for the price. I hope this answered helped. :-)

Mine does fine, but I am assuming that you are not leaving it in the direct sun unused for long periods!!! Mine gets left in my hot garage for long periods, with no problems at all!!! I'm in San Antonio!!!

I'm not sure. I does get very hot. I'm sure it might work. You might need to take your time as it melts through.

After using the grill wait until it cooled down. I've no problem with the cover melting from the sun.

I've used mine once, so far. While there was a breeze, I was fine, but it did become overly warm under there. Still better than a sunburn.

Mfg may not recommend it, but I have and had no problems. It works great in Summer to keep out heat.

I don't know why it wouldn't work just fine in hot weather, I leave it on the faucet in the summer when there are some 100 degree days. However, in the winter, I remove it and cover my outside faucets with the foam cups so they won't freeze.

Yes, it works great for me. I'm at a farmer's market in 100 degree heat for several hours and love it! The dark under color of the brim is also great for keeping the sun out.

I have only used mine indoors for the shower actually so I haven't had the change to try in direct sun. That said I do use a steam unit in my shower and the temp. gets pretty hot in there and I have never had any problems yet.

After a year I had mine melt into the dash one day in Seattle. I have a review with pictures in that section. It has seen hotter weather but something about today (68 degrees measured in the shade) and it decided to melt.

I had it out in the sun for approx 8 hours and it worked fine. I had put those frozen blocks on the bottom and the some ice on the top and everything kept nice and cold. To be honest, by the end of the day, the ice had melted and the blocks were back to liquid filled, but the compartment was still cold and so were the drinks we kept in it.

We do not but with our packaging technique we have not had any issues with melting, even on hot days. It is best, however, to wait to order if the temperature is extremely high.

The only heat issue i have had is from the sun coming in the windshield, so i made a cover out of cardboard to insulate it from the suns heat. I also painted the cardboard black to make virtually not seen from the outside. I did cut holes for the lens and the power cord and mounting bracket clip. Unit is working very good and i am in Arizona and it has been in the high 90,s already.

Yes! I think it works well...but now that we are coming upon days with more sun be careful to use sunscreen with it.
