Melted grill

Just noticed a melted portion of my grill and curious what and or if anyone else had this problem? Only thing I could think of was glare???

 

Looks too random to be glare. Possible chemical contamination? I know DEET (mosquito repellent) will wreak havoc on some plastics. I would imagine there are other common chemicals that could do the same.

 

Do you park facing a house or building that has Low-E Windows?

You are not alone.

sunlight bounced from building windows can wreak havoc

 

'Twas a building near me that caused such damage the owner would be getting a letter from my attorney...

 

Lmao..... don't park there then.lol

 

Leaving aside how one could anticipate such damage before it occurred, if the damage is the siding on your home or windows or window blinds, as has been heavily reported, that is not an option. LMAO, LOL, WTF...

 

The cost of attempting to litigate such a thing would cost thousands. Just buy a new grille and park someplace else. Small claims are rarely worth a fight.

 

That's an asshole thing to do. Do you think people installing energy efficient windows are intentionally trying to burn cars? You would be better off letting them politely know.

Also, 'twas means "It was". Just FYI.

Also, I don't know if you are writing that way to sound intelligent, but that post is almost completely unintelligible.

 

I have low E windows in my new house. I can tell you that it does melt things. It severely warped the siding on my house to the point to where it was drooping, looked horrible. The siding company graciously came out and replaced it for free, this time. Next time it's on me. I've since purchased some high tech screen that covers the window and helps with reflection, but it's still happening a little. My point is, it happens and the refection off of those windows can rely F up some plastic.

 

Dude...If I had to control the reflection, read aura, coming off of me as I walk around I'd be in court for 24 hours a day...I try to be less emissive but it's hard..

I jest

 

Could be an Asshole with a cigarette lighter in a parking lot or walking by your home or work !

 

You didn't try to powder coat it, did you?

I highly doubt it.

 

its God telling you to get a TRD Grille

 

I have a grill insert for sale if you want a new one

 

Yeap,it will cost about $500 just too get a court date
,not including hours of leg work,and then about 1 year wait just too get into court.

 

Good thing the windows in my house are older than me, and older than all of you...

 

This is good...made me laugh.
You might need your Chakra balanced.

 

Good thing I have no windows on the side of my house where the garage is.
