The plastic of the sticker gets sun-damaged, not heat-damaged (although I'm sure at a certain heat it would damage it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets that hot on a 40 degree day it's like it's been in the oven for ten minutes at a 120.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a better option than the oven? With the heater you can direct it from under the gear knob. The oven will do the whole knob and lever.
