If it was from the sun, why only on the corner trim and not on the panel? Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Yup, that looks like flame damage more than anything electrical. Some more detailed pictures would help answer the question more. Though with how much of the area is burned, I'm surprised there isn't more soot embedded in the plastic and traipsing up above the burn area. Dominic may be on to something with the potential young "wayward" boys in the house.

I think I got it figured out. See the follow up post, Not The Problem They Feared. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
