Went out to the truck for parts purchased yesterday
for a remodel project and was startled to find that
one of my plastic switch boxes "changed shape"
in yesterday's afternoon sun.

I suppose a professional wire slinger would have warned me
about leaving them out there . . . or perhaps suggested that
I not used them at all. It's doubtful that temperatures
under my sheet rock will ever get that high . . . but it was
a surprise to see this part react so strongly to temperatures
on front seat of my truck.
Just a heads-up in case any of you are contemplating changes
to the wiring in your shop . . .

Bob . . . | Which way was the curved windshield facing (relative to the sun)? Even without any 'concentration' from an accidental lens, temps can easily reach >180 degrees in a closed car/truck....
