Would it lose it's effectiveness, or possibly worse melt in a hot car during summertime?

I have had mine in the back seat cup holder since I bought my 'new' used car which had a distinct cigarette odor (subtle to most, but too much for me ~ I have nose like a bloodhound...lol) It was too good of a deal to turn down just because of the smoke smell. I am tickled pink with the results of this odor eliminator!!!!! It has not melted in the HOT East Tennessee August car and has totally rid my car of the smell....HONEST. I actually bought the second jar just so I would have one ready when the current one ran out. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Mine has not lost effectiveness yet (in about 2 months) and I live in Florida where it is pretty hot. Although my car is garaged a good percentage of the time, I don't think the product has diminished within the time I've had it.

I've kept one year-round in the cup holder and it fits perfectly. It's never melted and maintains it's effectiveness. The gel will disintegrate as it depletes but lasts such a long time. Please note I live on the coast of Maine and the temperatures rarely get above 85 or 86 degrees.

Not likely unless by being warmer the moisture evaporated but then it would need an escape from the space.

It won't melt the plastic, it doesn't get that hot. But may not transfer a lot of heat if has to go through anything very thick. It automatically kicks on and off around 44 degrees F.

At first it will be a little "tacky" but once you melt and brush and let it set, it's fine. Maybe on extreme heat, like a hot radiator , there might be a little melt

If you mean would the heat damage it, I doubt it. However I always hide mine in the glove compartment to deter thieves. Because of the detachable magnetic mount it's easy to leave the suction cup attached to the window but remove the actual unit.

it gets hot just by running it after a while, thats what the metal heat dispensers are for. But i think if you leave it all day in a car, where temperatures can reach 110 120 degrees, in direct light from the sun, it would do some damage to it, as much as any electronic device for that matter. But if you mean just leaving it in the glove box or another compartment, it should be fine, as long as it isnt getting hit directly by the sun, its pretty small and portable. If you plan to record and leave it there, you can cover it with something if thats the case.

I have left it in the car the longest one very hot (28 degree celcious)day and nothing melted. Longer than that, i do not know. Hope this helps

Honestly, it does get pretty hot, because it is fully made of metal. I put a black driving glove or leather glove over top of it when I'm out of the car. Easy fix. It's not untouchable, and cools down quickly, but I still prefer to have it covered.

I have used this product before, I suggest that it only be used (mostly) for your car's interior. I don't know what the temperature resistance is, however, this has a tendency to be dusty if used outside on paneling, body trim, etc. It really depends on your application. If you're applying this directly on any hot engine parts, near exhaust, and so forth, I highly advise against the idea because it will definitely distort and damage the material (also a fire hazard).

I would think so. The plastic is pretty rigid and probably the same type used in automobiles. I have one in Alabama and the summers are 95-100. I am not familiar with a summer in Arizona with the "dry heat" and higher temps. I am quite happy with mine. I use it on my deck to keep my grill and grilling accessories out of the weather. It suites my needs wonderfully.

I live in MN so it's not Florida heat, but mine have been in the hot car all spring and summer with no issues. They're heavy duty plastic, so I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Check with the manufacturer, but personally I wouldn't leave anything out in such heat.

You can on low heat settings and don't leave it on there. Otherwise you'll melt it.

I don't see why there should be a problem, I have left my camera and the rolls of film in the car all day, in sunny, super hot (106 F) inside car and nothing happened. good luck.

No. The adhesive is designed for tires, which can get 50 hotter than the air temperature. If it melted in the heat, it wouldn't work as a plug.

I don't know the melting point but I would say with good confidence that it would work fine without the heat causing it to lose adhesion. It is designed to go inside car doors and against the firewall. Both places get pretty hot and maybe even hotter than the car's ceiling (I assume you meant inside the vehicle on the ceiling under whatever material).
