Is it bad to leave your reels in hot car?

Looks like I've got some testing to do. Power Pro has had issues, which is why I no longer use it.
Thanks,

Somewhat of a digression from topic, but one often hears rumors of Dacron being susceptible to UV or thermal degradation. Both are largely exaggerated. Dacron (= polyester) has excellent resistance to UV rays, and excellent resistance to high temperature. Far greater than Nylon monofilament, for example. Spectra or Dyneema line is considered more resistant to UV rays, but less resistant to heat.

maybe a good set of roof racks might ease the pain of loading and unloading, you wouldn't have to hunch over  like you do when putting them in the car. or consider a pick up truck, you can load all your gear easy, have a rack across the back and let the rod tips stick out over the tail gate

I'm actually in the process of getting a new vehicle. I really want a small pick up. I'm leaning towards a 2014 tacoma.

A stand up rack in the back would be ideal. Even better would be a boat with a small cabin but I'm stuck with the one I have for now, no complaints.

Thanks for the clarification, Robert.
