Dont think so. It is nade for vehicles. Get a windshield shade protector. Thats what I did. The gps feature attachment is also worth ordering on the offer after tou purchase the radar gadget. Very reliable for a 360° 3-mile radius.

I live in SD and no it won't, it's like those sticky stretchy hands you used to get in toy machines, if it gets dirty you just rinse it off and it's good to go

I have that pad, is a sticky one with a cobra radar on top. Unlucky for me the heat of the radar plus the sticky pad combined it burned my new 2014 car dash. When I say this is because the sticky pad has the property by it self to damage plastic dash, imitation wood clear, and so many other dash finishes. Now I'm looking how to cover the damage on my new dash..... :( my dash has a granulate texture and you can see on the sticky pad spot how those granulates almost disappear, on the section where the radar has his spot for the inside electronics you can almost see the cobra logo stamped on the dash....

So far it has not from August 2013 to now December 2013 in the Los Angles / San Bernindino Area. I do drive from the South Bay area to the Inland Empire once or twice a week. Yes it does want to stick to the dash tightly if left there without removing for weeks at a time.

Well I brought this product in NYC during the winter so I haven't used it in strong sunlight yet.. Well to be honest I stick mine in my glove box when I'm not using it.. As long as you have something on top of it actually using it I don't see a problem .. It leaves no residue whatsoever behind .. For me so far so good ..

I live in Florida, 125 degrees in the car, in summer when parked with windows up. No problems at all!

I haven't had a problem with it getting soft or sticky from the sun but I live in New York.

I have no definite knowledge, but I strongly suspect it might. I has come close to becoming very stuck to my dashboard in the St. Louis heat.

I live in Southern California and we have some 100 degree plus weather but not 100 days. I got the cover in September 2012 and far it has held up better than any cover I have had before. The car was newly painted just before I got the cover and so far no sun problems. The car stays cool and there has been no fading. Frank

I live in the central valley of Ca. During the summer the sun will blacken exposed 2x4s. The point being that those UV rays eventually win. We have a horse trailer with a fiberglass roof and I bought one of these four years ago and one year ago. Eventually the sun wins, I will buy another of these covers in a year or two. In other words, I am happy with it, but the sun will win.

Id say NO, but I haven't tried to melt it that way. I think it needs a slow melt down. But contact the seller, he will answer all your quastions

I wouldn't it is made of a plastic material and will melt. Should look into a foil type material.

No. I live in Texas (the Dallas/Fort Worth area). I've had them though out the summer. No melting.

It arrived in great condition for me, but it was colder when i last ordered. i could imagine that there might be the possibility of melting if shipped in the summer. hope this helps.

Only very briefly. If you leave it on too long it would melt most plastics. A quick swipe will make it shinny actually.

yes, they are wax like any other candle so if they are in direct hot sunlight they will melt, but otherwise perfectly fine for outdoors.

I think this product will hold up well. We live in Texas and the heat is quite intense. That said, we normally don't use this cover to protect from the sun.

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

I doubt the material itself would melt, but it will leave behind a lot of the adhesive if you try to remove it.I used it in certain spots of the interior of my new car on a roadtrip with my dog. it was at most 70 degrees in the car the whole time and after 3 days it left a fair amount of adhesive anywhere that had been warmed more than ambient temp (like the leather armrest under my elbow and seat the dog was on)

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.

No it's styafoam and if you heat in it , the warmer will melt. I hope this answers your question

Hey their, actually yes it will suddenly get sticky but Not melt! I would recommend to take a ZipLock bag and keep it their for the rest of your trip! Safe travels !!

If you are getting direct California Sunlight, I'd have t say yes. It would be more noticeable being Red. You may want to consider a light color on any set you purchase

I wouldn't think so. No hotter than any seat would get in direct sun. We love ours - it's is very handy with our grandkids.
