New (aug16) Trinity & Windshield Mount Melting!!!

Post by AZguyJeff »

Anyone else have this very upsetting problem?... Would love to hear from you all.

Bought this pretty expensive trinity in aug of 2016 and soon realized it was melting while in the car. What i mean is the plastic casing the trinity is in and the suction cup mount have both become deformed from the heat buildup inside the car. I don't even keep it in direct sunlight.

You would think a casing material that is meant for high/ low temp ranges would have been chosen during product development. I work in R&D engineering and run material compatibility and environmental studies as well as life testing.

I wonder if DiabloSport would help me with this issue. Thanks.

I've left these things in parked cars in the sun for weeks on end, never saw such an issue.
What kind of temps are you seeing in the car to cause this?
Got a pic of the damage?
