it's not the heat from the engine that cooked the wing. simply not hot enough to cook it or otherwise the decklid or paint will be the first to melt. i'd guess it's the quality issue of the resin that was used on the wing. the bumbles can be the air that trapped inside during production which u probably didn't notice when u got it?

I agree. It's just a poor manufacturing. What wing is it, and where did you get it?

I am guessing it's the heat from sun. It's in the high 90's where you were. High altitude also means lots of UV damage.
