Other than that, it got so hot here one time when I left my RV-6 on

It wouldn't have happened if you'd removed your "shade"
stickon's from the top of the canopy...

Most heat rays will simply pass through the plexiglass but,
if you've got dark colored stickons on the top of the canopy
you WILL have a problem... it concentrates the heat right
on the plastic and you end up with an "inny" rather than an
"outy".
