Corvette 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
While vehicle was parked consumer opened the back lid and immediately noticed smoke coming from the seat. Upon closer inspection, consumer noticed a burn hole forming on the seat, consumer then placed a piece of paper adjacent to the burn hole and fully reopened back lid, almost immediately the paper started to burn due to the sunlight hitting it through the back lid glass. The glass behaved similar to a magnifying glass, which caused the seat and paper to burn.
