    Just an FYI, temperatures in a car in direct sunlight can exceed 165F. Very quickly.

    I know this because I left a glass thermometer under my seat for an hour one summer. When I came back to grab it, the glass has burst (max on the scale was 165F).

    I have no idea about lens coating changes over time and their heat tolerance, but the insides of cars can be fucking awful.

      Oh I agree it can be a friggin’ furnace. My complaint was that I’d never had that happen before so why is it happening now? And if I can’t keep my driving glasses in my vehicle, where am I supposed to keep them? Maybe keep them at my desk just in case my monitor suddenly gets really far away?
