Has there been any issues regarding product material melting in prolonged direct sunlight?

I've had it in the dash of my car for 9 years in NJ. After 9 yrs, I took it off for the first time, washed it, and it works as good a new.

I had my Sticky Pad on the car dash board all summer, with my sunglasses on it, and it was fine. It does get hot in Alabama, so I can say sticky pad will not melt in direct sunlight, and does not stop working.

I have had it on my dash all year. Never a problem. Unless your dash is black and the temp goes over 180 degrees it should be ok.

I use it on my dashboard but rarely have my car parked in prolonged sunlight as I park in a covered parking garage. The Texas heat has not had any affect on it though.

well, there is a big chance that the product exposed to sun while shipping or heat thats why the color changed , i cant really tell, but i stopped using it immediately and i bought one from a local pharmacy

They get scratched a little bit with use, I haven't observed any melting so far.

I have not. I always keep it in our garage or in the back of the van. So it's not in direct sunlight very much. Just when we take it out for walks. But it's still perfect. You won't regret buying one.

I suggest that this wonderful product will keep rubber components in good condition, however when a weather strip has been exposed to the weather, especially the sun for many years and it has shrunken, it has unfortunately gone beyond repair.

I can't put my hands on the product insert right now to see what the company's official line is, but I can say that I have it against a south-facing wall, so it gets a fair bit of sunlight. And over the past ~6 months I haven't seen any signs of UV degradation or even fading of the black color.

I had no problem with melting. I went directly from a tea kettle with boiling water and put the lid on it.

Yes! if you leave it in the car or in direct sun, it will melt. It won't melt completely at room temperature or in a warm room if you use something like beeswax to keep it solid, but I always tell my customers to make sure they don't leave them in the car in the summer. Or in their pocket.

I've been using mine for quite sometime now and haven't noticed anything melting off .... weird !

I haven't had any difficulty using it in sunlight. I haven't taken it to snow or the beach yet though. However, since I haven't noticed an issue or even thought twice about it, I don't anticipate any problems. I haven't even turned up the LCD brightness all the way (no need)!

Not that I am aware of. The package does say to store at 77degrees and out of direct sunlight.

YES! Our cover material is highly resistant to deterioration from UV. Great question. Thanks! - JWALT

We've not had any problem at all. Our stays outside all the time. If I remember correctly, there was a dark film covering the top of the solar panel. I'd just suggest checking to ensure that this film has been removed.

I do not know, as we have never went that long without Sun. However, I have had mine for almost a year now, opening several times per day, with never a problem of any kind.

After owning the product for several years in Arizona sun, the plastics have cracked and crumbled. We ended up putting heavy bricks on the metal frame. I would suggest that the plastics did not have UV protection.

I'm pretty sure no....there is rubber on bottom that could possibly melt. I would call the company.

I concur with the answer from Nicolas. I highly recommend the product as you won't find one that is as sturdy and all metal and the plastic ones deteriorate in the sun.
