Tragic happening

Hi Ryuhei

This article shows a picture of the mirror as well as some other panels:

Has the cover melted all the way through, or is the hole just on the inside (or even just the exterior)?

Sorry to see this!

It does look like it's followed in a line, which could suggest sunlight focused through some glass over time, could that have happened where it was parked? as since the cover is burnt it most likely would have happened externally.

The cover did not actually burned, just melted and hardened and breakable.
The damage of the cover is just one side and 4cm×8cm, smaller than the damage of the bumper and wing which is start from just above wheel arch through fog light.
The dealer said that the fog also distorted a little bit.

Yes I am almost convinced that the damage was caused by light.
If it were so, no vandalisms, no faults of car itself. This will relief me a bit anyway.

Thank you for your concern gents.

Seems the same cause of mine.

I took a look at a house just opposite.

It has stainless panel, seems not so big and shine but enough to burn my car?

Those two photos are the damage of my car.

When I saw it, it has no hole, actually seemed became thin and hardened.
When I touched it, it fell apart like thin ice on the cold water.
