Do Polargs melt housings? Interested in opinions from warm climates

Most of the replies on this are from people who only have experience with these M6's in the cold weather.

Anyone who has been in warm/hot weather with the M6's have experience with them melting the housings? Only interested in people who have had the AC on in the past six months. (for you southerners, I still have 8 inches of snow on my front lawn!)

Best feature on the car! I have used them everyday for months..car hasn't been shiny in months, road sand has blasted my windshield something fierce - should have waited to buy this car in April, not October. oh well.

Reached up through the housing from underneath. Pretty easy. The PIAAs are smaller than the polargs and fit through the hole easily.

I've got the Polarg M6s here in sunny Miami. After around 3 months of use, I haven't noticed any problems.

Nothing like those Houston summers

Thanks guys. Irvine and Miami are about as hot as it gets this time of year. Now I have to find a place to get them without paying too much in shipping.
