Well it does make me feel better :-)

It was around 140F in some parts on the last trip - end May, 
beginning of June. The temperature in the car was a lot higher after 
it had been left in the sun for a few hours.

Add to that that the temp. was below freezing at night in some places 
then it  seems sensible to avoid such radical temperature changes 
with trannie film.

English people melt if they visit Utah in August ;-)

The conditions that early settlers endured can only be imagined - 
hundreds of miles from the nearest Mounatin Dew outlet and no running 
water for their darkrooms.....

Cheers,
