You asked for info from the manufacture. With high temps things get soft, add in vibrations and things can come apart.
Years ago I worked a morning shift and was off just after lunch. It was a hot ass day. I starting my car, cranked up my system and started to drive off. 20 seconds later I had a my rear view mirror fall on my hand. The manufacture could be just playing it safe to save them on replacing some helmets. There is a really good chance that the helmet would be fine, but what many are saying in this thread is they don't want to bet their life on it. I wouldn't do it because of possible damage from the sun or from sliding/rolling around. Plus I wouldn't like the lost space in the trunk. James

No problem. I figured it was the only way to "resolve" this question.
Somewhere I heard a story about a Nolan brand helmet caved in the top of the helmet and deformed it, by sitting in the sun. A trunk would be protected from direct sun, but still. |

I'm actually wondering if you might be better off leaving a helmet in the direct sun instead of a trunk. At least outside it has a chance to dissipate some of that heat into the atmosphere and with the help of wind. Trapped in a car trunk it's going to get and stay very hot for a very long time. I mean, when you think about it, people do leave their helmets out in direct sunlight for hours at a time even in very hot atmospheres. Every person who rides a bike on a decently long ride in Texas, NM or AZ will have their helmet exposed to direct sunlight for hours on end. We would see a higher per rider fatality rate for helmeted riders in hot states if the helmets broke down under those conditions.
