If a structure's windows create enough of a curve, the concave glass can focus the sun's rays onto a small area and
acting like magnifiying glass direct the sunbeams into a hot pinpoint of light. This magnifcation of the sun's rays can
cause damge to vehicle trim (see examples). Additional information and exemplar images regarding this phenomenon
can be found by performing a google search.
Examples of heat damaged trim:
